Durable Skills Pilot Program

The National School Board Association (“NSBA”) and ProjectSet invites middle and high school leaders to join a pilot program to promote Durable Skills in their students. This free, six-month program provides:

• Students with personalized curriculum of on-demand digital tutorials, projects and tools – based on their career preferences – to build and demonstrate their durable skills

• School educators and leaders with data and evidence of the skills impact of their students and programs.

Anyone in the faculty or staff who is able to manage the process. ​

• Help select or nominate students to participate in the pilot program (we recommend each school to nominate at least 10 students).




• Track engagement of students in an exclusive digital dashboard every week (~10 mins per week)




• Support students who may need some help of guidance (~15 mins per week)




• Coordinate communication between program team and your students (~15 mins per week)




• Offer periodic feedback on the program and the tools (~15 mins per week)




• Sign off on projects proposed by local employers for your students (~30 mins)




• Support other faculty members to offer the platform to their students (~15 mins per week).

Overall, we anticipate a workload of less than 2 hours per week, on average.

We will examine the case to allow each school to select their preferred time window to curate multiple participating cohorts for the program.
