Hello Skills Champion,

As we step into October, it's hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by, and how excited SkillsAware is about the momentum we've built!

 

 As I explore in my latest blog post Safeguarding Your Story: Why Privacy and Security are Paramount in AI-Powered Recognition of Prior Learning, we need a "privacy by design" approach, which means security and ethics are embedded into AI systems like SkillsAware from the very beginning. It's RPL done right - efficient, ethical, and built to protect what matters most: users of the system! 

 

We invite you to join us for the third webinar in our Skills & Standards Series: Skills and Meaning, taking place on Wednesday 5 Nov from 12:00 - 12:30pm. Our host Dr. Mark Keough will be joined by guest Deb Carr to discuss Skills and Meaning - what does having a skill really mean? Register here or catch up on previous Recordings here.

 

Are you attending ePIC 2025 in Paris this month? Connect with Yasmin King or myself and come along to our session: Enhancing Trust in Digital Credentials: Granular Skills Recognition with SkillsAware on the 21 October at 3:15pm.

 

Until next time, stay informed and inspired!

Safeguarding Your Story: Why Privacy and Security are Paramount in AI-Powered Recognition of Prior Learning

By Margo Griffith, Principal Skills Consultant

Is privacy being traded for convenience in AI-powered RPL? 

As AI makes RPL assesments faster and easier, learners are now being asked to upload personal information such as resumes, work history, and other documents into systems that were not designed with data privacy as a top priorty. 


It is vital that we look ahead to ensure data is secure, protected and not at risk. As I explore in my blog, we need a "privacy by design" approach, which means security and ethics are embedded into AI systems like SkillsAware from the very beginning. It's RPL done right - efficient, ethical, and built to protect what matters most: users of the system!
