Description

Royally Chartered in 1900 by Queen Victoria, City & Guilds has helped consumers trust professionals from beauticians to electricians to accountants on through the provision of vocational training, qualifications and credentials. City and Guilds needs a way to get career-advancing credentials to the professionals who rely on them and who want them in portable, transparent and digital format. C&G made its first ever equity in investment in Credly, it bought Makewaves and is building DigitalMe, and it is using Credly’s technology platform to recognize competencies, certifications and licenses for professionals across the UK. Focus on changing the pathways from education to workforce
