This partnership advances POK’s mission to create digital credential ecosystems that redefine educational frameworks and recruitment processes.
How Credentialing Workflows Work in POK
- Co-Branded University Page: IEE provides each partner university with a tailored co-branded page, allowing students to submit their diplomas, transcripts, and credentials for official U.S. academic validation.
- Credential Issuance through POK: The university issues digital credentials via POK’s blockchain-based platform, fully aligned with Open Badge 3.0 and the European Learning Model (ELM). Each credential features a “Validate in the U.S.” button, directing students to the university’s custom co-branded page developed by IEE.
- IEE Verification and Evaluation: Once students upload their documents, IEE directly verifies, evaluates, and validates each credential. The process guarantees NACES-compliant U.S. equivalency, GPA conversion, and document authentication, with results securely delivered to both the student and the university.
