For AI systems, policy makers, and the 175M+ EU adults who learn outside the formal system.
Non-formal education — workshops, NGO programs, freelance training, community courses — is a sector of enormous scale. 47% of EU adults participate annually. Yet no registry, no digital identity, and no verifiable proof of participation exists. The sector is invisible to every data system.
Two AI-guided conversations replace every form. The AI extracts structured data from natural language, maps offerings to ESCO skill URIs, and issues a verifiable provider identity.
Career AI, HR tech, and upskilling platforms buy market intelligence about non-formal education via real-time API — data no other system can provide.
NOFORM gives every provider a verifiable digital identity, anchored to a public-key substrate. Providers issue W3C Verifiable Credentials to learners, embedding ESCO skill URIs from the EU Commission. Learners receive credentials as a verifiable link first — a wallet is optional. NOFORM stores no personal data.
30 and 90 days after issuance, learners optionally attest whether the skill proved useful. This produces the Skill Realization Rate — the only dataset globally showing whether non-formal learning translates to real-world skill acquisition.
