Problem:

Mom Relaunch is a pioneering organization that nurtures women through upskilling and career re-entry programs. Their mission is to enable women to achieve financial independence and career success after taking time away from the workforce. The organization provides several projects that participants undertake to enable hands-on experiences, receive certifications on cutting-edge technology platforms, and demonstrate those skills to prospective employers.

However, they faced several challenges in recognizing and showcasing participants' up-to-date achievements to the market. Traditional certificates failed to capture the ongoing nature of upskilling, and participants needed a credible way to demonstrate their evolving skill set to potential employers.

Solution:

Mom Relaunch partnered with Verix to create an innovative blockchain-based credential system that grows with participants. Key features include:

• Dynamic certificates that update in real-time to reflect each new skill or milestone
• Tamper-proof and globally verifiable credentials
• Seamless integration with Salesforce for automatic updates
• Easy sharing on professional platforms like LinkedIn

The verifiability and transparency features of the Verix platform were particularly crucial for Mom Relaunch's success, allowing participants to confidently showcase their evolving skills to potential employers, who could verify the certificate’s authenticity in one click.

Results:

The implementation of the Verix solution led to enhanced participant motivation, with women more engaged in completing program milestones. It also increased professional visibility, as 73% claimed their certificates and many shared their achievement on LinkedIn. The solution streamlined administrative processes, reduced the time and effort needed to track and update achievements, and strengthened Mom Relaunch's position as an innovative leader in career relaunching programs.

"Verix's solution allows us to provide visible, validated recognition for every stage of our participants' progress," said Maria Cecilia Armando Chaer, Director of Operations at Mom Relaunch. "This motivates our participants and gives them a powerful tool to showcase their growth, create community amongst each other, and facilitate the employment verification process.

"A Mom Relaunch graduate shared, "Watching my certificate evolve with each new skill I mastered was incredibly motivating. It gave me the confidence to apply for positions I wouldn't have considered before.

"Mom Relaunch is continuing its partnership with Verix beyond the initial implementation, recognizing the ongoing value of the blockchain-powered credential system in enabling women to re-enter the workforce.

By leveraging Verix's blockchain technology, Mom Relaunch has revolutionized how upskilling and career reentry programs recognize and showcase participant achievements. This innovative approach not only enables women to confidently demonstrate their skills but also opens doors to new opportunities, supporting their journey toward financial independence and career success.
