HPass is an initiative focusing on professional development in the humanitarian sector. It is a free online platform where key players can meet: humanitarian workers and volunteers, learning and assessment providers, and employers. With HPass, any humanitarian, whether they be a volunteer or an experienced field worker, will have the opportunity to have their current experience recognised throughout the sector. HPass is also an opportunity for learning and assessment providers to join a global platform, sign up to the sector-recognised standards and provide digital credentials using Open Badges for both learners completing their courses and people whose competencies are being assessed. HPass will also be accessible by humanitarian employers, who will be able to search for individuals by their skills and experience. This will increase the speed and efficiency of recruitment during an emergency or to meet ongoing operational needs.
