Links to Past to the Future

• The Present
• In the summer of 2003 a successor structure was
  created to and charged with finding a way to
  leverage the broad mission and work of the NSSB.
  
• Many stakeholders believe that creating a
  successor structure is the best way to optimize
  the federal investment.
• The structure was broken into three separate but
  inter-related elements
• The National Skill Standards Board Institute
  (NSSBi) whose mission is to give communities of
  interest a voice within the work of skill
  standards, certifications and assessment.
• The NSSB Education and Research Institute
  (NSSBERI) whose mission is to expand and update
  the amassed knowledge of the NSSB.
• Global Skills X-change (GSX) whose mission is to
  develop standards-based tools and protocols that
  can be used to implement a national system of
  standards and certifications.

The Past The National Skills Standards Board
(NSSB) was created as a result of the National
Skill Standards Act of 1994. The Act included
a provision for the sunset of the Board five
years from that original date. Congress
evaluated the progress of NSSB on an annual basis
as the framework of a national system emerged
through the development of Industry Skill
Standards in five major economic sectors. As a
result, the Board continued to focus on this
broad mission until 2003.
