4.1 E-LEARNING

While e-learning becomes more and more popular, the certification remains an issue as there is no guideline that is accepted by all companies, countries and institutions. Finishing a course on a platform currently gives you a certificate for said topic, but does not provide any value outside the website. Missing translations, varying topics and many other issues play a huge factor in this. Especially in aspects that do not need a specific language, this remains an ongoing issue. Coding, graphic designs and many more jobs in the world wide web do not rely on a specific language and are therefore internationally usable. Not having the right certification to show said skills will result skilled but jobless people that have all the right tools to push companies further.

4.2 TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS

Currently students most often receive their degree in the language of the school, college or university. While this may be a suitable solution if graduates plan to apply for jobs in their own country, they face huge problems when looking for job offers outside of their borders. Especially students outside of English speaking countries need to translate their degrees, which will cost additional money from notaries or similar institutions. Not only students, but also companies face major problems in today’s world, as fraud is almost impossible to prevent at the current status. False degrees and fake CVs are quite frankly not uncommon. Companies who hire fraudsters often end up paying a lot of money in the process while also losing valuable time as they need to evaluate the next group of candidates.
