UbiPass is Ubiquity University’s name for a global “skills passport”: a personal record of your skillset acquired through work, life, and formal study, intended to be validated, promoted, and matched with opportunities - ubiquityuniversity.org 
# The basic promise
Ubiquity frames UbiPass as a way to turn “I can do this” into something legible to other people at scale, so that capability is not trapped inside a CV, a degree title, or a single employer’s reputation - ubiquityuniversity.org
On the same product page they also make a values promise around the platform environment: no commercialisation, you own your data, no third party ads, and ethical standards - ubiquityuniversity.org
# Badges, competencies, and credentialing
Ubiquity describes UbiPass as something they are developing to award badges for competencies gained through coursework or work experience, placing it within the broader trend of Competency-Based Education and Microcredentials - ubiquityuniversity.org
Their “Our Approach” page ties this to hiring and assessment, arguing that competency-based credentialing is becoming a preferred way for organisations to assess talent - ubiquityuniversity.org
# Connection to global frameworks and the SDGs
Ubiquity positions its sustainability and soft skills curricula as incorporating the UNESCO competency framework and centring on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and UbiPass is described as being linked to global competency frameworks rather than being an inward-facing badge system - ubiquityuniversity.org - ubiquityuniversity.org
# How UbiPass fits with UbiSkills and UbiCerts
Ubiquity’s competency story includes two named credential families: UbiCerts (credentials for competencies acquired through learning and life experience) and UbiSkills (a soft-skills and SDG competency framing), which helps explain what kinds of “evidence” a passport might end up collecting - ubiquityuniversity.org
In practice, you can read UbiPass as the container and presentation layer, while UbiCerts and UbiSkills are examples of the credential types that could populate it over time - ubiquityuniversity.org - ubiquityuniversity.org
# Skills matching and community context
On the “What we do” page, Ubiquity lists “UbiPass and Skills Matching” and “U.N. SDG Competency Assessment” as platform features, implying the passport is meant to be active (matching, assessment, collaboration) rather than just archival - ubiquityuniversity.org
They position this alongside a wider community platform (UbiVerse) for connecting people and organisations committed to positive change, suggesting the passport is meant to travel with you inside a network rather than sit on a lonely profile page - ubiquityuniversity.org
# The learner-facing surface
Ubiquity runs a “UbiPass Learner Portal” page listing courses that appear to function as entry points into the ecosystem, which makes UbiPass feel less like a single credential and more like a pathway and dashboard concept - ubiquityuniversity.org
# What I think the interesting bit is The strongest idea in a skills passport is not the badge itself, but the translation layer: turning lived experience and messy practice into a shared vocabulary that a community can recognise without flattening the person into a score.
If UbiPass works, it will work because it makes skill claims both easier to make and harder to fake, while still leaving space for narrative evidence, peer endorsement, and context.
# Limits and critique Any skills passport can drift into performative credential collecting unless it has honest assessment practices, clear definitions, and social norms that reward real capability rather than profile decoration.
A second risk is interoperability theatre: saying “linked to global frameworks” is not the same as actually being portable across employers, countries, and institutions, so the proof is in adoption and integrations, not the wording - ubiquityuniversity.org
# Naming collisions
UbiPass is easy to confuse with “Unipass” (a UK financial-services identity login) or “UniPass” (a password-manager research prototype), so checking that you are on the Ubiquity University domain matters - ubiquityuniversity.org
