Transforming the way we learn, work and grow on a global scale
The way we learn, work, recruit and train has evolved dramatically, however the underlying infrastructure has not.
The ODEM Trust Network directly connect students with educators, where students can design and crowdsource their own education and earn the skills needed to compete in today’s global workforce.
ODEM makes education and employment more affordable, accessible, verifiable and transferable.
Education has become expensive, easily falsifiedand irrelevant to today’s employment demands.
High CostEducation is expensive.
538% increase in the cost of higher education since 1988.
Skill GapCompanies have the
immediate need for specific skills that they can’t seem to
fill, coupled with the high cost of recruiting for
specialized positions.50% of the global workforce will need to be reskilled by
2022.
Credential fraudEmployers are often faced
with job seekers highlighting false credentials and subpar education from unaccredited
organizations.

Education and employment disconnect
Students are left to guess at which skills they need to
grow professionally.
ODEM’s blockchain credentialing and skill-matching engine deliver an education and employment marketplace that meets the needs of today’s global workforce.
