Certchain

What they do:

Certchain is an AI-enabled workforce compliance platform designed for the construction sector. Through their platform, major construction firms can verify and demonstrate the skills of their employees and subcontractors, checking them in real time against more than 40 training and regulatory bodies. Their AI-assistant helps to identify skills gaps, providing prompts for training to workers and their employers, helping upskill the workforce and support career progression.

How they make impact:

Without a simple way to prove their workers and subcontractors have the right training and qualifications, for many firms, compliance is becoming both a risk and an operational burden. With Certchain, employers can onboard, verify and continuously monitor the competence of their workforce and subcontractors in minutes, replacing manual checks with a safer, more reliable, transparent and cost-effective process.

The benefits for workers are equally significant. The skills held in worker’s “skills passports” can be used across employers, and Cara AI – Certchain’s personal career progression assistant – helps workers identify gaps between their current profile and the requirements of a role, making it clear where further training would help them get ahead. In a sector in where career pathways are often unclear, this is a major step-forward in access to work and career development.
