Make learning visible.
Make skills verifiable.

Potentially is the skills, portfolio and career readiness platform for higher education — working inside Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle and D2L. Every student builds a record of what they can actually do, with the evidence attached.

Universities are evolving for a world of skills-based hiring.

70% of employers now use skill-based hiring practices, screening for demonstrated capability rather than credentials. NACE, 2026

Skills are becoming the core of the higher education experience — Potentially empowers universities to translate courses into skills at scale.

Corporate programmes your clients can see inside.

A programme layer above Canvas and Blackboard for the part of the school that sells to employers — cohorts, enrolment, analytics, credentials and the record, at the level a programme is actually bought and renewed.

Skills Profiles for every learner.

Skills Profiles
Skills by evidence — a bubble chart in which each skill's bubble is sized by how many pieces of evidence sit behind it.Market research, leadership, pitching and data appear as bubbles of different sizes; the larger the bubble, the more evidence the student has attached to that skill. SKILLS BY EVIDENCE Marketresearch Leadership Pitching Data

Help every student articulate and evidence their skills.

The profile belongs to the student, is shareable by link, and is kept after they leave — which is the point of building it inside the programme rather than beside it.

Frameworks
Framework coverage — a list of standards with the number of evidence pieces held against each.Standard 1.2 has twelve pieces, Standard 2.4 has seven, and Standard 3.1 has one, so the thin spot in the framework is visible at a glance.

Track development against the frameworks that matter.

Your own taxonomy, professional standards, or apprenticeship standards — mapped once and applied everywhere.
