Launched in November 2024, the Careers and Skills Passport consolidates information about an individual's career and skills from government-verified sources in one centralised and secure location, before the information is shared with current and potential employers.

The SSG said this tool can be used to supplement resumes and enhance online job applications with verified records.

Users can choose which records they wish to share with partnering online job portals, such as JobStreet and FastJobs. They can also generate a shareable link of their profile and share it directly with potential employers.

To date, 4,900 users have shared data from their Careers and Skills Passport.

Developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Ministry of Education (MOE) and Government Technology Agency, the passport has four key components.

The employment section contains verified data from the Central Provident Fund Board and MOM, such as employer name, employment period and occupation.

The skills section contains an overview of verified skills from the user's certifications and from employer validation. Users can also add skills that they acquired on their own.
