The development of a common data standard is long overdue. However, there is nothing new with the development of Skills Passports to support lifelong learning (been around since about 2015). Multiple employers, credentials issuers and platform providers have been doing so for the last decade. We now offer a no-cost Skills Passport version for certified skills credentials (with accreditation and certification bodies) and already being adopted by several universities (www.credentialscloud.com). Credly has also already developed a high end version and being rolled out internationally. The concept of a single passport has no validity as there are multiple options and to support lifelong learning the learner must be free to select where they share and publish their credentials as they see fit.
