SAIT Graduates Are the Largest Canadian
Class to Receive Blockchain-Based Diplomas
Press Release (ePRNews.com) - ZUG,
Switzerland - Jun 14, 2019 - ODEM, the
premier blockchain-based education
marketplace, is joining with the
Southern Alberta Institute of
Technology (SAIT) in Calgary, Canada,
to grant digital diplomas to more than
4,800 graduating students. SAIT’s Class
of 2019 will receive the blockchain-
based documents along with their
traditional parchments.
The virtual diplomas will enable graduates to directly share their academic achievements with
recruiters and potential employers around the world without requesting their paper or
electronic records from SAIT. Blockchain technology features a decentralized digital ledger to
cryptographically assure the security and authenticity of recipient-controlled credentials.
“Education is one of life’s most valuable assets,” said ODEM Chief Executive Officer Richard
Maaghul. “We believe that students should have control over their own records, and
blockchain technology makes that possible.”
The partnership with SAIT began as a successful pilot project in December on the Ethereum
blockchain to test the issuance of digital diplomas. The pilot included 25 graduates from the
Pre-Employment Automotive Service Technician program — the first Canadian post-
secondary graduates to receive their academic credentials on a blockchain. This month’s SAIT
convocation marks the largest-ever graduating class at a Canadian higher-education
institution to be issued blockchain-based diplomas.
“SAIT graduates are well-positioned for success with employers in today’s rapidly changing
digital landscape,” said Dr. David Ross, SAIT’s president and CEO. “By making valued SAIT
credentials accessible through blockchain, our graduates and employers will continue to
benefit from this innovative technology that’s responsive, authentic and widely accessible.”
Blockchain technology extends a significant benefit to employers as well; the validity of
academic credentials can be easily and efficiently verified. Background checks become instant
confirmation of blockchain records, ensuring against fraudulent education claims.

“We’re delighted to play a role in empowering SAIT graduates to own their education over a
lifetime of learning,” said ODEM’s Maaghul. “By working together, we’ve only just begun to
explore how blockchain technology can make education more accessible, affordable,
transferable and verifiable.”
