The SkillsPass story
  • The origins of SkillsPass trace back to our earliest days working on custom workforce training solutions with a global roster of enterprise-scale clients. We identified a large gap in upskilling and credentialing at regional or industry-wide levels. Specifically, how would a regulator manage training with hundreds of approved training partners? How could governments deploy upskilling across thousands of businesses? How would corporations manage training for their supply chain? We walked away from an enterprise practice that included the global leaders in seven different industries. Instead, Bluedrop chose the road less travelled. We would forge new solutions for the groups the eLearning industry left behind.
  • The traditional LMS is organizationally siloed. They offer limited value when training is required across industries, with numerous stakeholders and a workforce that stretches across many employers. A new technology and approach was necessary to seamlessly facilitate this broad coordination- and we called it Integrated Skills Management (ISM).

Today, close to 3 million worker records are securely stored on SkillsPass. And, with their SkillsPass Training Passport, workers can easily access, renew and share their certifications with employers and regulators.

Training Delivery & Credential Management-
Reimagined

SkillsPass is a cloud-based Integrated Skills Management (ISM) Platform for upskilling and credentialing workforces. It replaces outdated and piecemeal approaches to complex training challenges facing all stakeholders, including workers, employers, training providers, regulators, and governments.

SkillsPass solves a range of regional and industry training and certification challenges, whether they were driven by regulations, or the need to upgrade skills to meet evolving market demands. 

SkillPass adheres to the world’s most demanding privacy, security, and accessibility requirements. Simply put, we bring structure to complex training situations that overwhelm traditional Learning Management Solutions.

Enabling on-demand upskilling for job seekers and employees facing rapid change in the workplace by advancing employability and strengthening attachment to the workforce.

Delivering targeted training for industries in transition with rapid response capability for urgent skill development for workforces struggling with new regulations, competitive pressures, and technology upheaval.

Modernizing credential management for OHS and Regulatory training– by providing the training equivalent of an electronic medical health system. Instead of health records, patients and healthcare providers, SkillsPass focuses on workers, employers, training providers and regulators.

Let’s Talk

REIMAGINE

A seamless online training ecosystem connection for all stakeholders or partners…

  • Including governments, regulators, industry associations, unions, career centers, training providers, employers and more.
  • These cross-organizational and complex training situations would overwhelm an LMS. SkillsPass fixes that, with a robust suite of NexGen features and functionality including:
    • ONLINE TRAINING HUB– our embedded MarketPlusTM online training marketplace- allowing our clients to go beyond their own training offerings and consolidate external training sources, whether classroom, online, or virtual. 
    • UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE– Industry open architecture solution design that enables third party solution integration and the bringing together of key partners/systems and eliminating the siloed, restrictive nature of the traditional LMS.
    • TRAINING PARTNER INTEGRATION– Training partner enablement through unique storefronts to accept bookings, track attendance, and issue certificates working in concert with each client’s marketplace. APIs are also available for Training Partners with their own software.
    • DIGITAL WORKER PASSPORT– The industry-first SkillsPass Worker Passport, allowing end-users to access and share their validated credentials securely with employers and regulators (via QR code).
    • MULTI-LEVEL REPORTING– Robust reporting and insights at an employer and industry (client) level. Clients can provide a business account for each employer partner to allow them to track valid certificates, assign training, and see the final results and expiry notifications. The platform also generates valuable client insights about training completion at certificate, demographic, partner, industry, and regional levels.

SAFEGUARD

With security and support that safeguards our client investments in two key ways:

  1. Battle-Tested Solutions– Having met the highest levels of audit, scrutiny, and testing related to data security, privacy/consent legislation, and web content accessibility guidelines.
    • Our consent-driven architecture supports the latest regulations and best practices in data privacy/consent, security, accessibility. The platform is secure and audit-proof- with SOC 2 Type I Audit Certification, PCI standards compliance, adherence to all SaaS security and privacy requirements, and more.  
    • We are global leaders in this space. Over the past few years, we have been through 500 governmental client Threat Risk Assessments, passed 5 Provincial PIAs, launched with 8 governments and 5 regulators, been approved and deployed by the US state departments to deploy the solution in 30 Countries.  
  2. Full Delivery Support Options– Our experienced Adoption Services Group can help clients realize their objectives after launch. We help ensure that if you build it, they actually will come.
    • Our team has managed client training initiatives that have impacted millions of workers, and support training stakeholders (e.g., training partners and employers) to adopt solutions.
    • Our optional managed services range from supporting client adoption efforts to full outsourcing of the rollout and operation of training initiatives. For some of our clients, we actually operate their entire training solution, including:
      • Full onboarding and training for stakeholder groups (such as training partners or employers) 
      • Generating awareness, engaging with potential partners, performing system demos, signing on partners, etc.
      • Sales and Marketing– we staff account management and sales roles, complete marketing strategies, design and place advertising, and develop promotional materials.
