Between 2018 and 2019, business leaders and school board members recognized the urgency of this gap and began discussions on ensuring high school graduates possess the essential skills for workplace success, regardless of their career path. This national initiative led the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to take action, resulting in the 2019 report Six LifeReady Skills for Career, College, and Success in Life: A Report of the Commission to Close the Skills Gap.  \nToday, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the future of work, bringing both innovation and uncertainty. The six LifeReady skills—Dependability and Reliability, Adaptability/Trainability, Critical Thinking, DecisionMaking, Customer Focus, and Teamwork—are now more essential than ever. As researchers analyze more and larger datasets from employers, industry experts, and education scholars, they continue to identify additional LifeReady skills, leading to the development of a comprehensive skill framework known as Durable Skills.  \nTo support school leaders, the Center for Public Education (CPE) ofthe NSBA compiled this report to advocate for strengthening career and technical education (CTE) by preparing students with durable skills for an AIdriven economy.
