In the early stages of the pandemic, TerraHub Technologies, a Calgary, Alb.-based developer of automated verification solutions, realized its blockchain solution originally developed for the oil and gas market could be leveraged for health care workers. The Credential Link solution uses the immutable, distributed ledger properties of blockchain technology to allow hospitals and health care workers to verify and track the COVID-19 test results and self-assessments of employees. For example, if a doctor tests negative for coronavirus, he or she can prove they’re healthy in a verification-based app that connects to a back-end platform used by the hospital or other third party. The verified test results allow the doctor to continue working without risking the health of patients or co-workers. “It’s a way to ensure that workers have a way to return to work and that they should be allowed to return to work because they can prove healthy and current credentials for whatever profession they’re...

modernizing applications and making things secure is a challenge. And it's not just modernizing one component or moving something to a more accessible location. What’s the “bring your own device” policy? What are the security ramifications for remote access to a legacy application? What other investments do we need to watch the endpoint? What other applications sit next to legacy applications and need to talk? Interconnectivity always has to be considered. Success as a manager comes when you consider all of those things. You cannot promise this can happen for free. There needs to be an investment. Wendell: When you have the mentality of “that's how we've always done it,” whether it's IT or management, you're not going to change because it's working. But sometimes you could be doing it a better way. It takes a catastrophic event to convince people to change, but more money was spent because it wasn’t done on the front end. Edgar: It’s clear now that investments n...

Perhaps the best part, with implications for the future as well as the present: online training has proven to be just as effective as in-person. Analytics from CompTIA’s CertMaster learning platform, of which LeaderQuest was an early adopter, confirm that. “That was insightful,” Strobl says. “We could show how well students were doing in each objective of the course, because of the way they built the product. “We did beta testing with that, and their labs. And we were able to see that online learning had no adverse effect for these students across the board. They were still learning effectively, soaking up the information, spitting out the outcomes, and then able to go into exams and employment.” Factor in online IT training’s potential for exponentially greater reach than in-person education, and it starts to look a lot like the future in Strobl’s eyes. All of which makes LeaderQuest’s industry-recognized virtual capabilities that much more essential. Are you contemplating a career ch...

When you think about starting a new career or advancing your career, a couple of things probably come to mind. Can I earn more money? Where is the best place to find a new job? Can anyone help me? Depending on your situation you may or may not get the help you need in answering these questions. But why are these questions so hard in the first place? Traditionally, those doing the hiring and those doing the teaching do not communicate effectively. Both are running businesses serving different markets. When a college helps you earn a degree, they aren’t concerned with what you can do with it or what kind of jobs are available. They leave that up to the student. At LeaderQuest, we do things a little differently. After ensuring that our training programs and certification selection were aligned with the industry’s needs, we then had to build the bridge between students and employers. This is the purpose of our Career Services Department. This department was created to foster a symbiotic re...
