The Wall Street Blockchain Alliance launched a blockchain education project, and a large number of blockchain talents are coming

The Wall Street Blockchain Alliance (WSBA) and blockchain company Positrust have partnered to launch the WSBA Certification Framework (WCF).

WSBA President Ron Quaranta said:

We have noticed that the biggest problem in the entire financial market is the lack of technical and business talent in the blockchain industry. As this technology becomes more and more widely used in the financial market, training and education in blockchain technology is becoming more and more important. It is our honor to work with Positrust to launch the WCF project, and we look forward to this project helping to promote the use of blockchain technology in the near future.

The WCF project aims to create an education system to provide more distributed ledger technology (DLT) talents for the financial market. The courses currently offered include business analysis, system design, programming, network security, operations management, system migration, etc.

As more and more WSBA members asked about the future application of blockchain technology in the financial market, how they could acquire knowledge in this area, and how they could acquire blockchain talents to remain competitive, WSBA finally decided to launch this project.

Andrew B Kasaija, Partner at Positrust said:

In addition to the enthusiasm for blockchain technology itself and various theoretical use cases, the industry is in great demand for blockchain product experts. The correct and reasonable use of skills can save a lot of money for the deployment of positions and improve efficiency. The proof of concept of the WCF project is to improve the industry model and prepare for the actual application of distributed ledger technology in the capital market.

The project is currently recruiting pilot program members and is scheduled to officially start in the fourth quarter of 2016.
