ProjectSet is a platform for learners to build and showcase their durable skills through work-based learning programs.

ProjectSet is on a mission to equip the emerging workforce with the durable skills they need to succeed and thrive in the careers they choose.

ProjectSet offers a range of programs and tools for learners, including on-demand Videos, accredited Masterclasses and Bootcamps, Projects, Competitions, ePortfolio and a Tracker. In addition it also offers tools for educators to generate and manage virtual projects for their students (with the option to collaborate with employers) without stretching their workload or budget.

ProjectSet offers project or work-based learning opportunities for learners to apply and practice their durable skills in an authentic or simulated work environment. This “learning-by-doing” approach is distinctive from the “learning-by-reading” or “learning-by-listening” pedagogy used in most learning environments. In addition, ProjectSet offer learners the opportunity to work on projects that are tailored to their specific learning or career objectives.

ProjectSet is open to everyone – irrespective of their background, colour, location or affiliations. Anyone with an email id, connected device and browser can register for a free account.

Our videos are relevant for learners seeking to know about skills – what these skills are, why you need them and how you build them. Each video runs for 3-6 minutes and focuses on a specific topic or skill.

Simply log in to your account and select the Video tab to review the catalogue and select a video to watch. Our videos are on-demand, i.e. you can watch it anytime. You can also stop and resume at any time. However, you will not be able to fast forward any video.

No. All our videos are “stand-alone” and focuses on a specific skill and topic. However, we recommend specific videos to our users from time to time based on their career goals, skill profiles and viewing preferences.

Our Masterclasses are live virtual sessions for learners to review examples of how you could apply your durable skills to get better results in specific work situations. Each session runs for 6-90 minutes and focuses on a specific topic or skill. Most Masterclasses involve guest speakers from employers as well as a Micro-project (i.e. a short, virtual project) for learners to apply and test a specific durable skill.

A Bootcamp is a curated set of Masterclasses that are offered as a part of a program. Our Bootcamps typically involve 6-12 Masterclasses over 6-10 weeks and also include drop-in help sessions.

Yes. Our Masterclasses are accredited by CIPD; accordingly, all participants who attend the Masterclass sessions and complete all relevant assignments are eligible to earn credits from CIPD.

No. All our videos are “stand-alone” and focuses on a specific skill and topic. However, we recommend specific videos to our users from time to time based on their career goals, skill profiles and viewing preferences.

A project is an individual or collaborative task or assignment with clear deliverables or output, and schedules. The projects typically focus on inter-disciplinary topics (simulating problems you are likely to encounter in real-world organisations) and run 4-20. Most of the projects on our platform also involve a mentor.

Only premium users can set-up a project on ProjectSet. These can be set up as a solo or team projects for one or multiple teams (projects for multiple teams are essentially competitions). Premium users can set up bespoke projects from scratch (i.e. fill in every detail of a project) or use our generative-AI tools to set up a project in less than 2 minutes.

Anyone setting up a project on ProjectSet can attract participants by sharing the sign-up link to target users through emails, social media or other communication channels. In addition, ProjectSet also shares information on new projects with its existing user communities, based on their learning and career goals and preferences.

ProjectSet advocates projects that help learners build skills and career readiness. These projects typically:

• simulate a real-world work situation
• age-appropriate for target users (e.g. school students, university students, etc.)
• allows part-time working from remote locations.
• Primary based on publicly available or non-sensitive information
• Can be completed with commonly accessible tools, e.g. software packages, etc.
• Requires limited or no prior knowledge of a specific organisation.

ProjectSet offers each team an exclusive, virtual workspace (called “Team Space”) equipped with collaboration tools for file sharing, messaging, etc. This helps participants to collaborate effectively from any location, anywhere, anytime (synchronously or asynchronously).

The ProjectSet platform is purpose-built to promote skill development through projects. Accordingly, it offers several benefits to users setting up project; these include:

• Save time (user can set up a project in as little as 2 minutes)! 
• Increase reach and coverage by attracting participants from any location around the world and participate virtually and asynchronously (if in a different time zone);
• Access valuable data and analytics on user engagement and impact.

Accordingly, the platform is valuable for several user segments, such as:

• Educators looking to embed projects in their curriculum (e.g. capstone projects).
• Marketing / innovation / product teams in employer organisations looking for fresh ideas and talent from outside their organisation!
• Early-career / HR teams in employer organisations looking build a skilled and diverse talent pool for their organisation, notably by attracting people from locations and communities they do not traditionally recruit from;
• CSR Teams in organisations looking for programs to help learners build skills and demonstrate their program impact;

The ProjectSet platform is purpose-built to help learners build durables skills through projects. Accordingly, it offers several benefits to learners participating in project; these include:

• Opportunity to work in teams (including people you may choose to work with);
• Opportunity to collaborate virtually without being disadvantaged by location;
• Opportunity to showcase skills in a ePortfolio (and share the evidence with others)!

…. as well as many other benefits!

Any registered member can participate in a project on ProjectSet. You do not need any specific skills or tools to access ProjectSet or to browse or join a project. However, we encourage you to choose the project that best matches your skills and capabilities for maximum learning impact.

Our premium users can participate in unlimited number of projects. With a free account, you can engage in a maximum of two projects at any given time.

ProjectSet matches users to projects (recommendation list) based on their learning and career goals. In some cases, project organisers may use screening questions to select specific user profiles for a project.

We discourage users to withdraw from a project or a team, without a valid reason. This is intended to offer everyone a positive and seamless user experience. However, all participants have the option to email us at support@projectset.com if they face any specific challenge in a project or team and we will do our best to help.

You can review and register for any project by clicking on the Projects tab after you log in. The Opportunities section of the tab showcases projects with relevant details (e.g. topic, schedule, etc.); you can register for any one or more of this simply by clicking on the “Register” button.

No. ProjectSet does not charge any fee for users to join a project, as long as it is within the allowable limit.

Most projects on ProjectSet offer mentors (it is up to the project organiser to nominate mentors). ProjectSet offers mentors in all projects that they organise. The mentors advise the participating teams and usually have access to their TeamSpace to track progress.

ProjectSet encourages organisers to assess all project outputs and offer clear feedback to all teams. ProjectSet offers all participants clear feedback in projects it organises. In addition, we invite all team-mates and mentors to assess each participant for their durable skills.

ePortfolio is digital archive for you to showcase your work outputs (e.g. reports, videos, images, etc.) and associated testimonials as evidence of your skills and “what you can do”; increasingly, this matters more than just “what you know”. You can add the ePortfolio to your job or university applications as a hyperlink for others to view evidence of your skills.

No. You can showcase any relevant project – that could boost your profile and credibility – on your ePortfolio. All you need to do is fill in some basic information and evidences (e.g. reports, videos, images, etc.) from projects you may have done elsewhere and upload the details on your ePortfolio. You can also invite testimonials from relevant peers, mentors or project sponsor to strengthen the credibility of your ePortfolio.

A Tracker is a proprietary digital tool to measure twelve key durable skills, that are most sought after by employers. The tool uses an self-administered, online interactive “role-play” scenarios (anchoring vignettes) and takes about 60 minutes to complete (it can be completed in multiple sessions).

Sign up for a free account; you won’t need to enter any credit card or payments details.

Answer the “role play” questions. The process could take 15-30 minutes depending on how ready and alert you are. However, you can save your responses and resume at a subsequent session at your convenience. You will get your assessment once you have answered all the questions. There are no right or wrong answers; Skill Tracker does not use any personally identifiable information.

Only you will have access to your Skill Tracker scores. However, you will have the option to share your skill scores with anyone you chose.

The Skill Tracker assessment methodology integrates insights from multiple research studies including a recent analysis of 80 million job postings across 22 sectors by America Succeeds. The study identified the durable skills that are most sought after by employers.

Your durable skills are likely to improve with sustained practice. However, you can improve the reliability of your score by inviting people you have worked with (e.g. colleagues, mentors, etc.) to rate your durable skills for each project (simply click on the “Invite feedback” button).
