The central focus of the People and Skills Initiative is to create a shared understanding of the explicit, implicit, tacit and procedural knowledge necessary for individual makers to participate in and easily navigate a distributed manufacturing ecosystem, such as that being developed as a part of the mAkE project.

The People and Skills Specification (PSS) provides a standard framework for establishing a shared understanding of the explicit, implicit, tacit, and procedural knowledge necessary for individual makers to participate in and easily navigate a distributed manufacturing ecosystem. This framework can be applied to an open standard for data exchange in a digital badging system, or digital maker passport, supporting easier navigation within larger networks.
Organizations that choose to adopt this specification and use it can provide individuals with the opportunity to showcase their skills and be recognized in a global movement as qualified experts, based on their individualized skills. Businesses and communities benefit from being empowered to attract the necessary expertise to solve problems locally, and individual makers who become a part of a 'Maker Passport' that the PSS supports will have a way to communicate experience and skills levels automatically for ease of navigation through a global ecosystem.
