Skills Passport: The NOCN Workforce Competence Platform
Powered by the NOCN Skills Passport. One platform. Every person. Every skill. Every stage of the workforce lifecycle.
Bring workforce competence, learning and compliance together in one secure digital ecosystem.
Designed for employers and individuals alike, the NOCN Workforce Competence Platform helps organisations build safer, more capable and future-ready workforces while giving people a trusted digital record of their professional achievements.
Why organisations need a better way to manage competence
Managing workforce competence has never been more important.
Learning records, qualifications, workplace experience and competency evidence are often held across multiple systems, making it difficult to understand workforce capability, identify skills gaps and demonstrate competence.
As expectations continue to evolve across construction and other regulated industries, employers need a simpler, more connected way to manage workforce competence.
The NOCN Workforce Competence Platform brings Skills, Knowledge, Experience and Behaviours (SKEBs) together into one trusted record, providing a richer picture of workforce competence than qualifications alone.

Designed with industry, for industry
The Workforce Competence Platform has been developed alongside employers, training providers and industry partners to ensure it reflects the practical realities of managing workforce competence.
Industry leader Mark Wakeford has played an instrumental role in shaping the platform, bringing decades of experience across construction, workforce competence and skills.
“Competence isn't just about qualifications. Employers need trusted evidence of skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours to make informed decisions. That's exactly what the NOCN Workforce Competence Platform has been designed to deliver.”
