Who buys verified competency documentation

Short term training funded through Workforce Pell and WIOA is judged on whether participants gained real competency. The people accountable for proving it share the same problem: the evidence they hold was produced by the same system that delivered the instruction.

Items marked live are available today. Items marked planned are on the roadmap and are not available yet.

The program compliance lead

Community college or short term training provider, accountable for Workforce Pell eligibility documentation

What keeps them up at night

Must show that completers gained the competencies the program advertises, not just that they finished.
Completion and pass rates come from the same system that delivered instruction, which reviewers discount.
Evidence lives in an LMS export that was never designed to be read by an auditor.

How ArcProof addresses it

LiveIndependent assessment separate from instruction, so the evidence is not self attested.
LiveA traceable record per credential that a reviewer can walk step by step.
PlannedProgram level outcome rollups formatted for reporting packets.

The workforce board director

Local or state workforce board, accountable for WIOA performance measures and provider quality

What keeps them up at night

Provider claims about skill gains are hard to compare across providers.
Measurable skill gain documentation is inconsistent and often narrative.
Provider list decisions get challenged and need a defensible basis.

How ArcProof addresses it

LiveA common verification standard applied identically across providers.
LiveA published methodology a challenged decision can cite.
PlannedCross provider comparison dashboards.

The grant program coordinator

Runs the reporting cycle, assembles the evidence packet, absorbs the audit risk

What keeps them up at night

Assembling per participant evidence is manual and repeats every cycle.
An auditor question about a single participant can take days to answer.
Nobody can explain how a score was produced when asked.

How ArcProof addresses it

LivePer participant credential records retrievable by identifier.
LiveBulk verification of candidate credentials in one pass.
PlannedScheduled export of a reporting period packet.

What ArcProof does not claim

ArcProof does not determine funding eligibility, does not replace your reporting system of record, and does not yet have published outcome studies showing that its credentials predict employment results. The evidence status is stated in full on the research page.
