Post-Secondary Education page

The “Post-Secondary Education” collects information about any post-secondary education, licenses, and certifications that the participant has or is working on. Information about the participant’s K-12 education is collected on the “Education History” page.

Below, you can find information on the following topics related to the “Post-Secondary Education” page:

Case Management Benefits

Post-secondary education makes a participant more employable and significantly increases lifetime earnings potential. If a participant is in the process of getting a degree or certification, completion may become part of the employability plan. Licenses and certifications are important assets when marketing a participant to an employer.

Notes

At the bottom of each page of the informal assessment, there is a “Notes” field. This is where you can record any additional information about “Post-Secondary Education” that you feel will be relevant for case management, including information that doesn’t directly relate to any of the questions asked earlier on the page. General information about the participant or family should still be captured using “PIN comments” or “Case Comments”.

Each time you visit the “Post-Secondary Education” page, you will see whatever information was entered in the “Notes” field the last time the page was saved.

  • If you see information that is no longer relevant, you can delete it or – if needed – replace it with new information. Previously saved “Notes” will still be accessible through history for the “Post-Secondary Education” page.
  • If the information you see is still relevant, you can leave the existing text in the “Notes” field and – if needed – add additional information.

To get a sense of when “Notes” were originally entered and updated, you can access history for the “Post-Secondary Education” page via the “Informal Assessment Summary”.
