Making contribution visible, trusted, and portable.

Contribution Exchange is an international organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, building shared infrastructure for recognizing learning and capability developed through contribution.

Through an international federation of National Contribution Exchanges, Contribution Exchange stewards common standards for work-based learning, professional practice, recognition, and quality assurance. Its systems help organizations structure, validate, and recognize learning developed through work, community, civic, cultural, and other purposeful contributions.

Contribution Exchange also stewards the Work-Based Learning Numbering System (WBLNS®) and PathLedger®, providing interoperable infrastructure to index learning standards, record verified contributions, and make trusted evidence of capability portable across organizations, sectors, and borders.
