Here, blockchain technology could be used to leverage this innovative service.

Entro il 2030, ci sarà una carenza globale di talenti umani in tutto il mondo. La carenza di talenti causerà perdite economiche incalcolabili per le aziende che vogliono perfezionare i loro prodotti e servizi ai vertici del settore per ottenere un vantaggio competitivo. Questo perché il rapido sviluppo tecnologico crea divari tra le competenze pratiche di cui le aziende hanno bisogno e il programma dei corsi tenuti a scuola. Sotto la tendenza urgente della carenza di talenti, i governi e le organizzazioni hanno iniziato ad assumersi la responsabilità di coltivare il talento. Un mentore esperto, un ex-alunno o un anziano del settore aiuterà in modo significativo gli studenti a riconoscere correttamente il settore e ad avere un piano di carriera adeguato. In questo contesto, molti servizi sono sul mercato per aiutare a far incontrare studenti e tutor. Il meccanismo operativo della piattaforma esistente deve soddisfare pienamente entrambe le esigenze. Limitato dalla tradizionale tecnologia di archiviazione centralizzata dei dati, la verifica dell'autenticità delle informazioni visualizzate sulla piattaforma richiede molto lavoro. Pertanto, si potrebbe definire un'opportunità per progettare un servizio che aiuti gli studenti a trovare insegnanti autentici e credibili e motivare questo servizio a funzionare in modo sostenibile. Qui, la tecnologia blockchain potrebbe essere utilizzata per sfruttare questo servizio innovativo. Da quando il concetto di "Bitcoin" è stato proposto da Satoshi Nakamoto nel 2008, la tecnologia blockchain, che è la tecnologia alla base del sistema Bitcoin, è cresciuta in modo esponenziale durante questi anni e ha rilasciato molta immaginazione di preziosi scenari applicativi. In continua evoluzione, "Web 3.0" era un nuovo concetto che raccontava la visione secondo cui Internet di prossima generazione sarebbe stato costruito sulla tecnologia blockchain e avrebbe consentito a tutti gli utenti di possedere veramente le proprie risorse digitali. Gli NFT possono essere pensati come certificati di proprietà per asset digitali: dimostrano l'autenticità riguardo al fatto che una persona è proprietaria di uno specifico asset digitale. Potenziate dagli NFT, le reti decentralizzate rimodellerebbero le relazioni delle persone in modo virtuale e avrebbero un profondo impatto sulla vita reale delle persone. Ho progettato "CareerChain", una piattaforma educativa alimentata dalla tecnologia blockchain per offrire agli studenti mentori credibili del settore. In questo servizio, le entità fidate nel mondo fisico svolgono il ruolo di validatori per verificare l'autenticità delle informazioni degli utenti e scriverle sulla blockchain. La natura trasparente e non alterabile dei dati su blockchain darà al tutor una credibilità rilevante in modo che gli studenti possano distinguere chi soddisferà davvero le loro esigenze. Dopo che il tutoraggio è stato completato, i contratti intelligenti implementati sulla blockchain rilasciano automaticamente certificati di formazione sotto forma di NFT, incentivando entrambi gli acquirenti. Attraverso i mezzi di NFT, il valore creato da studenti e tutor viene tokenizzato e assetizzato digitalmente, promuovendo la crescita sostenibile della rete di formazione dei talenti e supportando la società nella risoluzione del problema della carenza di talenti.

Abstract
By 2030, there will be a global human talent shortage worldwide. The talent shortage will cause incalculable economic loss for companies who want to polish their products and services to the top of the industry to gain a competitive adva ntage. That is because rapid technological development creates gaps between the practical skills companies need and the syllabus of the courses taught at the school. Under the urgent trend of talent shortage, governments and organizations started to shoulder the responsibility of cultivating talent. An experienced mentor, an alumni, or a senior from the industry will significantly help students to recognize the industry correctly and have a suitable career plan. In this context, many services are in the market to help match students and tutors. The existing platform's operating mechanism needs to meet both needs fully. Limited by traditional centralized data storage technology, verifying the authenticity of the information displayed on the platform takes a lot of work. Therefore, an opportunity could be defined to design a service to help students find authentic and credible teachers and motivate this service to run in a sustainable way.
