time.sleep(7)
driver.get('https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickblack/skills/(ACoAAAC4aQcBoD2OHCmDN1Fe7n2dMtoVYkWTz4o,27)/')
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[-1])
for o in range(0,5):
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    time.sleep(1)

You might try to use below code to define last person in a list and scroll down to it:

the_last_in_list = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="pv-endorsement-entity__detail  pl3')[-1]
the_last_in_list.location_once_scrolled_into_view

P.S. You might need to do this couple times as list of persons initially is not complete: you need to scroll down to trigger XHR to add (load) more persons...

P.P.S. Note, that driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[-1]) makes nothing as there is no new browser windows opened, but just modal window in the same browser window
