Which learners and learning aims is employment status data collected for?
LearnerEmploymentStatus.EMPSTAT and LearnerEmploymentStatus.DATEEMPSTATAPP must be completed on all Employment Status records. LearnerEmploymentStatus.DATEEMPSTATAPP indicates the date the employment status was confirmed to apply. It is not necessarily the date on which the employment status changed. The Employment status monitoring fields required are dependent on what is recorded in LearnerEmploymentStatus.EMPSTAT. Providers should check to make sure that the correct data has been gathered. When to collect employment status data from learners Data about a learner’s employment status prior to enrolment should be collected in all cases when a learner first enrols with a provider.
Updating employment status recordsSkills Funding Agency funded learners and Non funded learners A new Employment status record should be added if a provider becomes aware of a change to a learner’s employment or benefit status during their learning or at the start of a new learning aim or programme. For SFA funded learners, it is important that the employment status data correctly reflects the learner’s funding eligibility. Data about a learner’s employment status should be reviewed if the learner progresses to subsequent learning after completing all of the activities on their original learning agreement or plan. If their employment status has changed since previously recorded, then a new Employment status record should be added. If the learner’s employment status is the same as previously recorded, then this does not need to be recorded again. A learner may undertake several learning aims within a single learning agreement or plan, and there is no need to review or update the employment status record at the start of each new aim. Apprenticeships and other workplace learning The employment status of learners undertaking workplace learning should be updated throughout the learner’s programme whenever the employment status or employer changes. It should also be updated if required, for example, if a learner progresses from an Intermediate-level to Advanced-level Apprenticeship. If the learner is undertaking an apprenticeship and was either unemployed or employyed with a different employer prior to starting their apprenticeship, then a new Employment status record should be added with a date of the first day of learning to indicate the learner is employed and to record the Employer ID of the employer with whom they are doing the workplace training. EFA funded learners The employment status of the learner should be updated if required if it has changed since the previous year. Traineeships work placements Data about the work placement employer must be recorded in the Learning Delivery Work Placement entity. |
