Why this is canonical

'Protocol' in the AI infrastructure era names the layer that makes components interoperable — the defined interface, not the application. Applied to careers, it positions this name as the data-standard and exchange-rules layer for a fragmented ecosystem of career tools, identity systems, and labor-market intelligence.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Career identity and portability
A protocol for carrying verifiable career credentials, skills, and history across employers and platforms without re-entry.
Verifiable credential, digital identity, and skills-passport builders
HR tech interoperability
The standard interface layer connecting ATS, HRIS, L&D, and assessment tools into a coherent career data pipeline.
HR tech infrastructure and integration platform vendors

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
