Passport & CMP

A portable record of what a person can actually do

Four instruments, one logic: the Passport records capability, the Capability Maturity Profile assesses it, CMP-Verified™ confirms it, and the Capability Mobility Framework deploys it.

Passport

GSTLW Skills & Talent Passport™

A portable, evidence-backed digital record of an individual's skills, qualifications, experience, assessed capabilities, professional readiness and mobility profile. The holder owns the record and controls who sees it.

  • Holder-owned and portable across employers, countries and institutions.
  • Evidence-linked: every claim points to its source assessment or credential.
  • Selective disclosure: the holder chooses what a given viewer sees.
  • Revocable sharing, with an access log visible to the holder.
CMP

Capability Maturity Profile

The CMP assesses capability against defined levels rather than course completion. It is the common reference used in recognition dialogues, employer hiring compacts and NPMTI institutional assessments.

Level 1 — Foundational
Can perform under direction within a defined scope.
Level 2 — Applied
Can deliver independently on standard work.
Level 3 — Proficient
Can handle non-standard problems and coach others.
Level 4 — Advanced
Can design approaches and lead delivery at scale.
Level 5 — Leading
Sets standards and builds capability in others institutionally.
Verification

CMP-Verified™

CMP-Verified™ confirms capability against defined evidence, methodology and quality-assurance requirements. Verification is a standard, not a certificate of attendance, and it can be withdrawn if the evidence base fails review.
Mobility

Capability Mobility Framework

The framework translates verified capability into movement: recognition mapping between national systems, employer-side placement standards, and the mobility profile that accompanies a Passport across borders.

Governance

Standards, delivery and data rights

  • GSTLW owns the standards, frameworks and public-interest architecture.
  • Assessment, verification and platform services are delivered commercially through Paraklete Institute / PCA Group. GSTLW owns the standards, frameworks and public-interest architecture; commercial services are never presented as Secretariat activities.
  • Holders own their data; the Secretariat publishes only aggregate, de-identified statistics.
  • No employer, government or partner receives holder data without explicit holder consent.
Availability

Rollout

The Passport and CMP open in staged cohorts, beginning with participants in Track A and Track B programmes. Institutions can register interest in adopting the CMP as a hiring or assessment reference.

Passport & CMP waitlist

Individuals and institutions can register for early access and adoption guidance.

We use your details only to respond and to send the updates you asked for. See our Privacy Policy.

Recognition and mobility
Four-entity mandate model
Power Up Futures Foundation (PUFF-USA)
Power Up Futures Foundation (PUFF-USA) is the U.S.-incorporated, IRS-recognised Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation providing governance, philanthropy and public-benefit oversight for the ecosystem.
GSTLW
Global convening, partnerships, policy, research and publisher of record; institutional home of Skills and Talent Diplomacy.
APLIS Africa Foundation (NGO)
Continental institutional implementation partner: continental programme ownership, public-sector transformation and regional coordination of APLIS Forums.
NPMTI — National Project Maturity & Transformation Initiative
Country-level execution framework (maturity methodology, government engagement model, assessment and reporting mechanism). Never a separate brand, entity or event.

Fund governance: the Global Skills Endowment Fund is governed under PUFF-USA (public benefit). The Global Skills Enterprise Fund is governed through PCA Group or an appropriately authorised investment vehicle — never through the Secretariat. Accelera 1000 is a platform brand only; contracts issue through approved legal entities. Commercial services are delivered separately through approved ecosystem partners (Paraklete Institute / PCA Group). All references to UN and multilateral participation are aspirational and subject to those institutions' own priorities and approval processes.

GSTLW is the institutional home of Skills and Talent Diplomacy. GSLI supplies the evidence, the GSEF Twin Funds align capital, the Global Week creates the compacts, APLIS coordinates regional implementation, and NPMTI translates cooperation into national project maturity and transformation.
