Recording destination and progression information
Recording destination and progression information
A Destination and Progression record must be recorded for all traineeship learners at the end of the programme, even if the learner has not achieved a positive progression, or if you have been unable to contact the learner.
Destination and Progression data will be used in the current year to calculate and publish provider level outcomes for traineeships and apply minimum standards of performance to providers.
ILR validation rules are applied to all learners with a traineeship programme aim once an Outcome is recorded to ensure that there is a Destination and Progression record.
All traineeship programmes with a Learning actual end date prior to the end of the current year (1 August) and a known outcome (i.e. the Outcome recorded on the programme aim is not code 8), must have a Destination and Progression record in the current year. This may include Destination and Progression records with an Outcome collection date up to the close of the R14 return.
If the learner completed their traineeship programme in the previous year but is continuing with the English or maths aim in the current year, you must continue to return the learner’s Destination and Progression record in the current year’s returns (including where the Outcome collection date is before 1 August).
Example
If a learner completed their traineeship programme on 25 February 2022 then the traineeship programme aim should be closed with an Actual end date of 25/02/2022 and an Outcome status of code 8.
The provider contacts the learner after 6 months on 10 September and discovers that the learner got a job on 14 April and is still employed. The learner has met the achievement criteria for obtaining a job for 16 hours a week for 8 consecutive weeks within 6 months.
The traineeship programme aim can now be updated to record an Outcome status of code 1 and an Achievement date of 14 June 2021 (8 weeks from the start of the job).
A Destination and Progression record must also be added with the following information:
-
Outcome type and code = EMP2
-
Outcome start date = 14 April 2022
-
Outcome collection date = 10 September 2022
The Outcome end date is not returned because the outcome is on-going.
Where an Outcome of ‘achieved’ is recorded for a traineeship programme aim, there must be a Destination and Progression record to support this and show that the learner has met the criteria for a positive destination. This is validated.
If the programme Achievement date is in the current year, then this must be reported by R14 together with a Destination and Progression record in order to earn achievement funding.
Only English and Maths aims can be extended beyond the programme end date, all other aims must be closed.
