Core Values
Our core values guide everything we do at Fathom, and we are committed to creating a world that values authenticity, self-determination, community building, problem-solving, and workforce transformation.
Self-Determination
is the key to unlocking human potential. At Fathom, we believe everyone should have the power to take control of their career and build the life they want. That's why we're building a digital wallet centered on self-sovereign identity and data ownership, giving people control over their professional identity and skills.
Authenticity
is at the heart of our approach to work. We believe that the best way to unlock human ingenuity is to create a workplace culture where people can be their authentic selves. We celebrate diversity and welcome people from all walks of life to join our community.
Community Building
is another core value at Fathom. We believe that work is about more than just a paycheck. It's about building connections and relationships with people who share our values and goals. We're committed to creating a community where everyone can thrive and grow.
Problem-solving
is a critical skill in the world of work. At Fathom, we believe that every problem can be solved with creativity, collaboration, and persistence. We're building a platform that empowers people to solve problems and create innovative solutions.
Workforce Transformation:
is essential to unlocking human ingenuity. We believe that the world of work is changing rapidly, and we need to adapt to keep up. That's why we're developing a universal talent management solution to help people navigate this changing landscape and build successful careers.
The Problem
Lack of interoperability creates significant barriers.
As of 2021, over 1 million unique credentials were used to describe learning & inform labor market decision-making. They include everything from the more formal degrees, diplomas, & licenses to the less formal but increasingly more common digital badges & online course completions.
While this explosive growth in unique credentials corresponds to the need for more flexible accreditation pathways for individual workers & learners, the lack of interoperability amongst accrediting bodies creates significant barriers for individuals who must prove what they know and can do and for frontline providers who must make dynamic decisions based on near real-time talent data.
Lack of shared standards for describing learning, skills, & credentials
Reinforced barriers to employment for marginalized learners & workers
Organizations & providers overburdened by manual documenting, verifying, and reporting of labor market data
Distorted market signals & misaligned services fail to meet labor market needs
the solution
We're reimagining a world of work that values and includes all talents.
The SEED Workforce Wallet is your portal into the Fathomverse, a Peer-to-Peer talent network for documenting, verifying, and sharing talent credentials. Furthermore, learners and earners in the network are equipped with more flexible approaches to proving their knowledge, skills, and work experiences without relying on centralized authorities and third-party intermediaries. These innovations aim to bridge critical gaps in national workforce development while empowering individual learners and earners with greater agency and control over their talent records.
