The value of making your skills visible

The Americas are advancing skills recognition, too.

15 Latin American and Caribbean countries participate in a regional initiative to support the recognition of professional competencies. The United States and Canada also have professional and trade certifications that help make experience visible.

The Skills Passport is an initiative under development to support labor mobility and access to formal employment. Its roadmap anticipates the first digital recognitions in November 2026.

01 / YOUR COMPETENCY

A documented achievement

The certification will identify the demonstrated competency, the applicable standard and the organization responsible for assessment.

02 / QR VERIFICATION

Authenticity you can check

The model includes a QR code linked to the digital registry to check the authenticity and status of your certification.

03 / INTERNATIONAL SCOPE

A credential with a global outlook

International recognition will depend on the agreements Talentia establishes with institutions and organizations in each market.

Issuance and digital verification are not yet available. Scope, validity and terms will be defined before certification is offered.

Assessment and trust

Clarity at every
stage of the process.

Understand the proposed assessment approach and what must support a Talentia certification.

STANDARDS

What is expected of you

Each competency profile must specify the expected performance, criteria and evidence for its three areas of proficiency.

ASSESSMENT

How the result is supported

The model must document evidence assessment and define responsibilities, result reviews and complaint procedures.

TRACEABILITY

How verification will work

The planned registry will allow users to check the certified competency, issuing organization and document authenticity.

What evidence might be required?

Knowledge: responses to case studies or questions about the competency.

Performance: observation of a task or simulation.

Work product: a verifiable deliverable, project or portfolio.

Specific instruments and criteria must be defined for each competency before assessment is offered.

Do I need to take a course to become certified?

The proposal allows for recognition of skills gained through experience or training at different institutions. Certification will depend on meeting standards and providing evidence, not simply attending a course.

Can I apply or verify a certificate now?

This pilot presents the initial catalog. Applications, requirements, fees, timelines and digital certificate lookup are still to be defined and enabled. This page does not accept documents or issue certifications.

What will international recognition cover?

Talentia has an international outlook. The scope of its certifications will depend on formal agreements and recognition arrangements. This proposal does not establish equivalence or endorsement by CONOCER, SENA or any other national authority.

What if I do not meet all the criteria?

Under the proposed model, assessment must identify unmet criteria and provide feedback. Terms for additional preparation, reassessment and result reviews must be published before the service begins.
