Alumni (AlumniCredential) type.

The AlumniCredential is a type of verifiable credential that certifies an individual's affiliation with an educational or corporate organization as an alumnus. This credential is designed to be a trusted and verifiable digital document that acknowledges a person’s completion of a program, degree, or employment at a specific institution or company.

Alumni credentials are used across various contexts, including educational institutions like universities and colleges, as well as corporate organizations where employees might be recognized for their contributions after they have left the company. The credential not only verifies the individual's past association with the organization but also provides detailed information about their achievements, roles, or degrees attained during their time there.
