T3N² Open Competency Framework Collab

Introduction

The talent ecosystem is vastly improved when skills and competencies (i.e., statements of knowledge, skills, dispositions, abilities and habits of mind or practice) are utilized and aligned for learning, communicating individual achievements, career pathways, and hiring. The OCFC Network is focused on solving three overarching challenges in the skills and competencies ecosystem: (1) existing skills and competencies are held captive in legacy encoding schemes (e.g., PDF, Microsoft Word, CSV (spreadsheets), etc.); (2) skills and competencies are not accessible to people nor machine actionable; and (3) skills and competencies are not shared via open licenses.

Description

The OCFC Network focuses on the organizational and technical infrastructure to improve the use of skills and competencies to power the talent ecosystem at scale. OCFC Network membership is open to individuals interested in participating with national and international efforts and infrastructure projects to improve the talent ecosystem through open, shared skills and competencies. This includes: advocates for open, shared data, and use of data standards; organizations that maintain sources of skills and competencies (e.g., libraries, registries, repositories-hereafter sources); and skill and competency data creators, users, or consumers.
