Communities at the forefront of skill development
Skybridge Skills enables communities to institute a practice of recognition that makes emerging skills visible and developing skills celebrated.
"Recognition builds a community and helps it understand itself"
ORCA
Skybridge Skills is the author of the Open Recognition Community App, new federated infrastructure for the Open Badges ecosystem.
A data pod for each community
Every community has its own space for recognition, where its achievements make up the community DNA.
Years of experience with Open Badges
ORCA was built by digital credentials leaders and experts, using the latest standards: Open Badges 3.0, Verifiable Credentials, and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
Open source
We believe that recognition should be open to everybody, so we made ORCA open source.
Turnkey hosted solutions
Join an existing community or start a new one on our hosted environments in minutes. No technical skills required. Free forever with premium integrations available.
Imagine your community empowered with recognition.
A community sponsor creates a community ORCA pod on Skybridge Skills and invites members to join. Admins create achievements and define how they may be claimed.
Some achievements represent skills, others might recognize roles in the community. Members claim achievements by providing evidence of their skills or roles. Reviewers may approve claims.
New achievements and members are added as the community grows.
