Verification of academic records using a national digital ID

A study in West Africa shows that 68% of CVs mislead employers and 29% list incorrect qualifications. This raises hiring costs and slows the hiring process.

The proposed use case provides a digital ID-based platform for employment records. Individuals seeking employment create profiles on the platform and upload their original certificates.

The platform verifies qualifications through diploma/degree-issuing authorities and skills agencies, then generates trusted digital profiles. Employers post jobs on the platform and receive verified applications. The government uses the data to plan employment policies and target social support.
