We are required by law to track our students placement once they graduate (Ohio Nursing Board, ACCSC, State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, ACCOM, and US Department of Education). Currently we have been entering in this information and tracking this  in the students info tab under organizations. We actually need to track a lot more information than just the specific work place, position held, and dates. We specifically would need something to track:

1. If the student has or has not been placed.

2. Licensing exam passed or not.

3. Organization for which the student has been placed.

4. Placement status (employed in field, employed in related field, or not employed)

5. Employment confirmed by

6. Contact Person (name)

7. Contact Person (email)

8. Title

9. Employment date

10. Supervisor

11. Salary

It would also be very helpful to have a spot to be able to add documents into Populi.

This is something that has not been easy to track with Populi and would be helpful for all your schools since it is a federal regulation to track placement. I know we can add custom fields in the info section but it is very messy and would just make sense to be in one location.

  We recently added some more fields that should help with tracking placement data. You can now add occupation data with hours worked and salary data to an employer on a person's profile. You can add an industry to a organization when editing the organization type.

  Having this information under a separate placement tab will allow us to readily pull student employment statistics on specific fields and programs.

  I am also interested in finding out about this as well as adding  a placement tracking section. Being a placement coordinator I need to set up to a tracking for our graduates. This is some of he fields I need to see and be able to create reports.

  1.. If the student has or has not been placed.

  2. Licensing exam passed or not.

  3. Organization for which the student has been placed.

  4. Placement status (employed in field, employed in related field, or not employed)

  5. Employment confirmed by

  6. Contact Person (name)

  7. Contact Person (email)

  8. Title

  9. Employment date

  10. Supervisor

  This is actually a requirement for almost every for-profit school—usually if they're eligible for state or Title IV federal aid. We'll have our first graduating class next spring (2018) and will be required to track this data.

  If Populi could create a category for career data, it would provide a greater use for the final part of the student lifecycle.

  Agreed!  CA just implemented new laws that require all sorts of gainful employment and salary tracking date for graduates.  Even for non-profit schools.

  Hi Mike,

  Are you referring to the "5 CCR Sections 74110, 74112, and 74117" linked to here?

  If that's what you are referring to, it looks like the first report, for all CA BPPE schools, is due Dec. 1, 2017. Is that right?

  Yes, that's correct.

  Hello,

  I am adding to this thread in hopes of adding another data point for Populi.  As a Graduate Business School we are required by WASC and BPPE to report on the placement rates of our graduates.  I am tracking the following and would love to have a Career module in Populi to review and extract this data from:

  1.  Employment History at the start of program (Employer, Title, Part-time/Full-time)

  2.  Employment Status 6 months after graduation (Employer, Title, PT/FT, Salary)

  3.  Industry

  Not only is it extremely important to have fields in Populi to store this data related to job placement, but HOW that data is gathered is important to me. We are required by accreditor to send out a request to graduates asking for all the detailed information about where they are working. This process is currently manual for my school and the request for information is usually ignored by the graduate. We are required to follow up with them and ask for this information again multiple times. Very painful currently.

  Would love to see that we could set up a customizable form that gets automatically emailed to all graduates say 4 weeks after they graduate. If they don't supply the requested data within a set time Populi would send out a reminder email. Rinse and repeat until we get the placement information on a form, which is then loaded into the student's profile on Populi.

  No reason this couldn't be a fully automatic process. PRETTY PLEASE!

  Interested in tracking job placement, licensure, even certifications attained during school (like OSHA, EPA etc) in Populi as well!
