Learning Agents, a leading Canadian company connecting skills performance with careers through the recognition power of digital credentials, today announced the launch of CanSkills.ca, a world-class suite of connected technologies to revolutionize evidence-backed skills recognition in Canada. This growing partnership brings global digital recognition technologies to Canadian servers, adapted to local Canadian needs, delivered by Canadians for Canadians.
The CanSkills suite of technologies includes:
CanCred.ca, the original element, a leading digital badging and micro-credential solution in Canada since 2016, in partnership with Open Badge Factory in Finland
Credentialate, a middleware hub with connective superpowers, to gather and link evidence from multiple sources, in partnership with Edalex in Australia
SkillsAware, a scalable human-centered, AI-powered skills recognition engine, in partnership with Edalex, SkillsIQ, and Dr. Mark Keough in Australia
The CanSkills suite is a significant further step in bringing cutting-edge, scalable skills recognition capabilities to the Canadian market. Combining the deep integrative capacity of Credentialate with SkillsAware’s AI-driven recognition and CanCred’s flexible badging capabilities creates significant system synergies that are needed to address the skills needs of Canada’s workforce in an era of economic challenges and rapid technology change.
“We will continue to assemble world-class solutions so that individuals can gain recognition for their skills and organisations can understand and develop their talent,” said Don Presant, President of Learning Agents. “Our growing collaborations with trusted partners SkillsAware, Edalex and Open Badge Factory will have a substantial impact on the Canadian skills ecosystem, fostering a more agile, inclusive, and skilled workforce prepared for the uncertain future of work.”
“We have been very pleased to partner with Learning Agents on the CanCred platform since 2016,” said Eric Rousselle, CEO of Open Badge Factory. “The recent integration of Credentialate with CanCred and Open Badge Factory platforms now provides even more evidence-based options for organizations issuing badges to recognize learning and achievement on these platforms.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Learning Agents to bring the powerful combination of Credentialate and SkillsAware to the Canadian market,” said Dan McFadyen, Managing Director of Edalex and Co-Founder of SkillsAware. “Credentialate’s unique ability to connect and surface evidence from diverse learning platforms, coupled with SkillsAware’s human-centered, AI-driven recognition, creates a seamless and robust pathway for Canadian learners to gain trusted, evidence-backed recognition for their skills.
