Blockchain Initiative

The Presidents Forum is partnering with the American Council on Education (ACE) to manage the Department of Education’s Blockchain Innovation Challenge.

This initiative is a two-year project focused on exploring both the opportunities and the risks of utilizing blockchain to translate skills and educational experiences into a language that individuals—and employers—can use. As part of this project, we are working with ACE on the Blockchain Innovation Challenge where applicants are asked to provide a vision and a pilot that addresses one or more of the following:

How can learners exercise agency over their digital identities, so they can share them in a secure, validated, and machine-readable way?

How can learning be better documented, validated, and shared no matter where it occurs, while improving the way underserved learners connect and unlock disparate opportunities?

How can blockchain support learners to find in-demand education in employment-relevant skills to advance economic and social mobility?
