A whitepaper by two Case Western Reserve University faculty members and their collaborator outlined how a national learning and employment record (LER) system could be created. The authors were:
- Youngjin Yoo, professor of design and innovation at Weatherhead School of Management;
- Erman Ayday, associate professor of computer and data sciences at Case School of Engineering;
- Theoretical anthropologist Natalie Smolenski.
Their report, titled “Designing a Responsible Universal Learning and Employment Record Ecosystem,” demonstrated how the LER ecosystem can enhance hiring processes, increase access to opportunities, and reduce inequality through use case scenarios.
