– Main Topic–

Velocity Network Foundation (VNF) <https://www.velocitynetwork.foundation/> is a nonprofit working to empower individuals to gain agency over their verifiable education and career information.

Velocity Network™ is built to be a utility layer enabling the world’s network for verifiable and trusted career credentials, designed for the digital age. It’s powered by blockchain, making it trusted, private and effortless for people to take ownership on their career credentials, choose whether to share them, decide how that data is used by others. A free, public and inclusive utility layer, it seeks to partner with current players--credential issuers, holders, verifiers, etc.--that are working to support better pathways between education and employment and better mobility across the labor market.

Many of the largest workforce-tech vendors and solution providers (e.g., SAP, Oracle, UKG, Cornerstone, Sumtotal, Randstad, Kelly, HireRight, AON etc.) are already engaged in deploying their solutions on top of Velocity Network™. Velocity believes that fixing the broken data layer underlying the global labor market will unleash the true digital transformation of this space enabling a spectrum of innovative use cases and new opportunities for the world-of-work.
