Case Study: Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training achieves faster workforce recovery with Merit
A Merit Case Study
Building a digital bridge back to work
The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training faced the challenge of connecting workers displaced by the Covid-19 pandemic with new employment opportunities, educational resources, and free social services. Their existing legacy communication methods were ineffective at reaching qualified candidates, making it difficult to facilitate a swift economic recovery.
Merit's solution provided the state with a platform for portable, verifiable credentials. This enabled displaced job-seekers to rapidly access relevant opportunities while allowing agencies to send highly targeted information to qualified individuals. Merit's platform also supplied the state with real-time, gapless data to measure the program's effectiveness and the use of state resources.
