Abstract
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a systematic maintenance, improvement, and broadening of relevant knowledge and skills, and the development of these qualities necessary for successfully carrying out professional duties throughout the careers of any professional worker. It aims at enhancing individual worth, and thus corporate performance.
However, this scheme requires the participants to fill in the form themselves, and it may be very unreliable and easily cheated. Therefore, we have come up with this blockchain project, which allows the course holders to fill the attendance into the blockchain, so that the participants would not be able to cheat the system by faking results.
Besides the system can be used in the economic category. In this day and age, freelancers or what we call “ slashers” are gradually more prevalent. They earn money from different occupations. For instance, a photographer might be a dancer at the same time. As the money is paid respectively and it’s not under the government’s control, it’s relatively harder for the government to track down these individuals. There’s a high possibility for these people to undergo tax evasion.
Therefore, we could use the blockchain technology system to assist the government. More and more job-provided platforms like taxi companies, and food delivery companies would be trusted by the government and tax evasion can be more easily tracked. By doing so, the government could keep an eye on the individuals and prevent tax evasion from happening, or at least reduce the amount of people who would do so.
