Institutions / Employers
We partner with universities, colleges, employers, and governments to build, credential, and scale tech upskilling programs that produce verified, industry-ready talent — not just course completions.
Three Service Pillars
Every engagement follows a structured path — from defining what industry-readiness looks like, to issuing credentials trusted by employers worldwide.
We research and define what industry-readiness looks like for your specific tech roles. We map skills, proficiency levels, and applied experience requirements aligned to O*NET role standards, Credential Engine frameworks, and real employer expectations.
We co-design role-aligned learning pathways for your learners or employees — integrating existing programs with structured upskilling, evidence planning, validation layers, and employer alignment into one coherent, credentialed journey.
We design and implement a future-ready credentialing system using globally recognised Open Badge and CLR standards. We define badge types, badge strategy, and evidence requirements — making credentials portable, verifiable, and employer-trusted.
Who We Work With
Align programs to industry, credential graduates with verified, portable skills — recognised beyond the institution.
Partner with us →Introduce structured future-pathway discovery, longitudinal learner records, and early skills credentialing.
Partner with us →Define job-readiness standards, upskill employees with validated evidence, and build direct talent pipelines via SOLO.
Partner with us →Run structured tech upskilling at scale with measurable, verifiable outcomes through a trusted global infrastructure.
Partner with us →The Consultancy Process
Six phases — each building on the last — from understanding your context to running a scaled, verified, credential-issuing program.
We start by understanding your organisation's goals, your learner or employee profiles, your existing programs, and the employer or industry context you are operating in.
We define the skills, roles, and readiness benchmarks specific to your program — drawing on O*NET role standards, Credential Engine frameworks, and direct employer input to set defensible, industry-aligned expectations.
We design the learning and validation journey — sequencing content, evidence requirements, assessment checkpoints, and credentialing milestones into one coherent, employer-aligned pathway.
We configure your badge strategy and credentialing architecture on SOLO Network — defining badge types, evidence requirements, endorsement workflows, and CLR structure using Open Badge 3.0 and global standards.
We run your first cohort together — monitoring learner progress, assessing evidence submissions, issuing initial credentials, and iterating on the program based on real outcomes and feedback.
We help you scale — expanding cohorts, deepening employer connections, adding new pathways, and growing your organisation's credential ecosystem with analytics, reporting, and ecosystem partnerships.
The Badging Process
Every credential we design follows the same five-phase badging process — from discovery to employment-connected outcomes. This is the same model behind every SPARK+ Academia program.
Market-aligned pathway design tailored to learner goals and employer needs. Role mapping using O*NET, Credential Engine, and CASE standards.
Two-layer learning — theoretical foundation and industry tools — building both conceptual depth and applied proficiency aligned to each badge.
Structured evidence submissions reviewed against defined criteria. Each badge carries embedded evidence — not just a certificate of completion.
Validated skills applied to real-world projects. Professional endorsements attached. Evidence portfolio documented on SOLO learner profile.
Verified learner profiles matched to employer needs. Skills-based hiring enabled through SOLO Network — bridging education to employment.
