New Work-based learning student functionality
This release will build on the features we’ve been rolling out over the past few months by introducing student-facing functionality that empowers them to explore opportunities and receive personalized recommendations. Both staff and students will be able to track a student’s engagement and participation hours for each opportunity. This release will also include enhancements to the existing functionality of the new work-based learning feature, including the ability to duplicate opportunities, merge organizations or contacts, and delete instead of just inactivating. No new permissions are required. The existing staff work-based learning permissions and student optional feature will continue to work with new work-based learning.
For clients using the old work-based learning system, with this release we will be migrating all your opportunities, organizations and contacts from old work-based learning to the new system. New work-based learning will become the default system moving forwards.
Monitor release notes and in-product announcements for additional enhancements, including the upcoming launch of our Partner Portal. If you have ideas or suggestions for new work-based learning features, add them to the PowerSchool Community.
