National Skills Inventory Systems | Skills Data Architecture
Secure national skills profiles, workforce intelligence and institution-led data exchange
A National Skills Inventory brings together structured information about people’s qualifications, occupations, experience and competencies. Its value depends on data quality, consent, institutional governance and the ability to translate records into useful skills intelligence. My work spans skills-profile registration, interoperability and national labour-market platforms in Kenya.

01 / Service overview
Clear direction for digital work that needs to deliver.
A National Skills Inventory brings together structured information about people’s qualifications, occupations, experience and competencies. Its value depends on data quality, consent, institutional governance and the ability to translate records into useful skills intelligence. My work spans skills-profile registration, interoperability and national labour-market platforms in Kenya.
Begin with a reference data model and a documented definition of each skills attribute. Establish lawful data collection and correction processes, institutional stewardship, consistent occupation and qualification taxonomies, and secure integrations before scaling dashboards and matching features. Protect personal information by design and avoid presenting self-reported data as independently verified.

Questions clients often ask.
A few practical answers before we start a conversation.
A structured digital resource that captures and organizes skills-related profiles to inform training, workforce planning, employment services and policy.
Verification requires authorized integrations or documented checks with issuing and regulatory institutions; a self-declared credential should not be marked verified automatically.
Access controls, minimized collection, consent and lawful-basis notices, retention policies, audit logging and secure integrations must be designed for the governing legal context.
