Dallas County high schools are going to deploy an extended transcript to more fully share career readiness information. Once students grant consent, Greenlight gives employers and colleges the ability to see all credentials in one place. High schools benefit through improved identity management, more efficient paperwork, and data management for state requirements. “In 20 years, students won’t be applying to colleges; colleges will be recruiting students,” said Kutty. With all the hype around blockchain backed cryptocurrencies, it’s great to see back-office applications of distributed ledger technology like GreenLight delivering value for students, schools, and employers.
