An Innovative Project Serving Apprentices, Trainers, and Companies
ICD Business School, in partnership with OPCO Atlas and COSS by 5Feedback, has unveiled the Skills Passport, a groundbreaking tool for managing and showcasing skills. Explore the behind-the-scenes of this ambitious project led by Romain Zerbib.

A Major Collaboration
The Skills Passport came to life thanks to close collaboration among key players. Spearheaded by Romain Zerbib, a researcher and lecturer at ICD Business School, this project leveraged the expertise of OPCO Atlas, a specialist in skills development, and COSS by 5Feedback, a company renowned for its innovative solutions for measuring soft skills. Multidisciplinary teams—covering technical, pedagogical, and project management domains—worked in synergy to turn this vision into reality.
A Project Dedicated to Learning
The Skills Passport is a practical answer to the evolving challenges of learning and professional training. This digital tool tracks and highlights apprentices' hard skills, soft skills, and “mad skills” acquired throughout their journey. Designed to meet the demands of a rapidly changing job market, it fosters apprentice engagement, enhances trainers' roles as coaches, and provides companies with a clear view of the talent they need to recruit.
Concrete Benefits for All
This project offers tangible advantages:
- For apprentices: autonomous tracking of their skills development, boosting their engagement.
- For trainers: a precise monitoring tool to support learners' progress.
- For companies: reliable data to identify the best profiles, going beyond traditional degrees.
By integrating this innovative tool, ICD Business School reaffirms its commitment to equipping students with measurable, immediately applicable skills, preparing them to tackle professional challenges head-on.
Conclusion
The Skills Passport marks a significant leap forward in ICD Business School's educational approach. With this initiative, apprentices, trainers, and partner companies gain access to a unique tool that embodies our vision of a future-focused education.
