The Skills Genome is a vision for an open global infrastructure of information-sharing on human skills. A "coalition of the willing" from around the world continues to collaborate in developing the vision, highlighting skills-centric initiatives and sharing insights for moving the arena forward.

The transfer mechanism for information about human skills is through a vision for a "Rosetta Stone for Skills," an open set of protocols for translating information about human skills into domains and languages.

The Skills Genome Project is an initiative of Charrette LLC, a small but mighty San Francisco organization that catalyzes "initiatives with impact." We are the co-founders of initiatives such as SoCap (the largest gathering of impact entrepreneurs and investors) and the U.S. Broadband Coalition (137 organizations that drafted a national broadband strategy in 2008), and producers of inclusive conferences such as Global Skills Day 2021 and Fulcrum: Strategies for an inclusive future of work.

The Global Skills Ecosystem

There are many skills-oriented initiatives and organizations around the world, many of which include implicit or explicit skills frameworks, skills/competency models, and skills development approaches.

Charrette maintains a "map" of that global skills ecosystem. The map is a living document, continually updated based on feedback and changes in technology and activity. CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO DOWNLOAD THE MAP.
