Please see below the improvements that have been made to the Interests and Destinations tab of the Learner Profile to make using this functionality more inclusive.
Interests
Previously, the options in the key subjects, industry and job role of interest fields had to be selected from a pre-defined list. As these values are not always appropriate for learners at special schools, users can now type their own options into these fields.
To enter a new option into one of these fields, simply type it in and press 'Enter' on your keyboard to save it.
Once a new option is added into one of these fields, it is saved as an option for future use.
Destinations
The following fields have had new values added to their dropdown lists to make them more appropriate for learners in special schools:
- Establishment
We have added specialist colleges from Natspec so that Specialist Further Education institutions can be selected from the Establishments dropdown list.
- Route
We have added new values in the Route dropdown list, including:
- Preparation for Adulthood
- Pre-supported Internship
- Supported Internship
- Pre-Apprenticeship
- Social Care Provider
- Supported Employment
- Qualification Type and Qualifications Level
We' have added 'Preparation for Adulthood' as a value in the Qualifications Type dropdown list.
Further options have also been added to the Qualifications Level dropdown list, including Entry Levels 1-3.
