For the second year, the Student Fair has partnered with LutinX to offer students BBadges that certify participation in orientation events, workshops, and seminars. These blockchain-based BBadges provide an official record that adds value to PCTO (Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation), formerly known as school-work alternation programs.
Each student can store their BBadges in a dedicated area on the LutinX platform called Librettoยฎ, creating a digital portfolio to track both formal and informal competencies over time. This system helps students showcase their skills to universities and employers, offering verified proof of their achievements.
Transforming School Orientation with Technology
The integration of BBadges allows students to demonstrate their participation in educational activities and gain recognition for skills essential to future academic and professional success. The Bookletยฎ is a permanent, accessible archive, that helps students build a detailed profile that grows with them.
In a job market that increasingly values verified skills, having these certifications can set students apart. The use of blockchain ensures that the BBadges are secure, immutable, and easily shareable with educational institutions and companies, which can rely on their authenticity.
Empowering Schools and Businesses
This initiative benefits not only students but also schools and companies participating in the Student Fair. Educational institutions can more effectively evaluate the impact of their training programs and enhance student engagement. For businesses, the BBadges help identify talent with specific skills, facilitating the matching process for internships or job placements.
A Future-Oriented Approach to Career Guidance
The Student Fair and LutinX collaboration showcases how technology can revolutionize educational and career orientation. By offering certified digital records, students are better prepared for the demands of universities and employers, fostering a smooth transition from education to the workforce.
The continued success of this partnership highlights the potential of combining innovative technologies with hands-on educational experiences to create a talent pool for the future.
