InfoSign Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo), the exclusive distributor of the digital badge issuance and management platform 'Open Badge Factory (OBF)' in Japan, is pleased to announce that OBF has been adopted as the issuance infrastructure for the 'Open Badge in Educational Management (OBEM),' which will be launched by the Digital Certification Service Organization (Location: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) on June 1, 2026.

OBEM is a new system that uses the international 'Open Badge' standard to socially verify management experience and practical experience as a lead or department-level teacher in school settings. In collaboration with 'Kyoin-saiyo.jp' and 'Gakko-saiyo.jp' (operated by Brain Academy Inc.), one of Japan's largest educational recruitment platforms, it will support the career development of approximately 100,000 teachers and the discovery and cultivation of management talent in educational institutions.

This initiative represents an advanced case where Open Badges, previously used mainly for 'qualifications and completion,' are expanding their scope to 'job experience' and 'practical experience,' areas that were previously difficult to visualize. Through this international technical standard digital badge platform, we will continue to support the visualization of talent and the realization of the right person in the right place within the education industry.
