KWETB cuts Onboarding Time by over 90% using ID-Pal

From 15 Minutes to Just 1: Streamlining Identity Verification for Kildare and Wicklow ETB (KWETB) training department.

Background

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB), supports and co-ordinates education, training and youth services in Kildare and Wicklow. KWETB specifically provide primary, post primary, post leaving certificate, apprenticeships, traineeships, youth services, music, community, outdoor and adult further education and training. As a public body, it is essential for KWETB to ensure that their processes are secure, efficient, and compliant with regulations while offering the best experience for their students, staff, and partners.

Challenge

The training department in KWETB needed to modernise and streamline its identity verification process. Previously, the process was manual, time-consuming, and labour-intensive. As a large public entity, KWETB was also required to meet strict GDPR regulations and ISO standards for data security. In addition, KWETB sought to improve the user experience for both their internal teams and external stakeholders.

Business Needs

1. Improved User Experience: KWETB needed a solution that made the identity verification process simple, fast, and secure for their users, reducing friction and enhancing the overall experience.

2. Operational Efficiency: The manual handling of identity verification was taking up a significant amount of staff time. They needed a more automated and efficient process that would free up resources and reduce operational bottlenecks.

3. Security & Compliance: Given the sensitive nature of the data KWETB handled, it was essential to ensure that the new solution was fully compliant with GDPR and ISO 27001 and 9001 standards to protect the organisation from regulatory risks.

ID-Pal made it incredibly easy for anyone to verify their identity with KWETB in just a few minutes. This has been a huge win in terms of improving compliance and process time and giving our team back time to deliver the services in our remit.
