WMCA Coding Guidance 2021/2022 - For the funding year August 2021 to July 2022

Construction Gateway

For the 21/22 academic year Construction Gateway (CG) will be coming through the ILR. The information in this section will detail how the WMCA expects providers to submit this information in the ILR every month.

The sections below describe how we expect CG to be returned in the ILR. Each provider may differ in terms of which aims they submit as it depends on what has been agreed by the WMCA or listed in their delivery plans.

The Student will initially enrol on one of the above aims. If the Student undertakes and completes the Phase 1 programme, they have the option of moving onto one of the four Phase 2 aims. If the student does this, then then the provider needs to additionally enrol them onto one of the Phase 2 aims above.

At any point during Phase 1 or Phase 2 the Student could complete one of the following assessments:

As soon as the Student starts a job in the construction industry then the Day 1 learning aim in the table above needs to be returned. As soon as the student goes on to complete 13 consecutive weeks then the Week 13 learning aim can be returned. The provider must retain a signed declaration form from the Student if either one of the three outcome aims is submitted in the ILR. If a Day 1 and a Week 13 aim is submitted in the ILR then you will need a separate signed declaration for both.

When submitting a Job Outcome aim in the ILR please code it in the ILR with a one-day duration and the same Start date, Planned End date and Actual End. For example:

A student is enrolled on a ‘Phase 2 (Small Plant)’ programme with a start date of 03/08/2021 and a planned end date of 14/10/2021. The Student successfully completes the course on the date planned and moves into employment. On 22/11/2021, the Student begins a job, these are the dates that need to go into the ILR:

The Student has then been in a job for 13 consecutive weeks and the provider wants to submit a claim for a job outcome payment. These are the dates that need to go into the ILR:

he start, the planned and the actual end dates in the ILR should be the first day of the 13-week sustainment date.

Please only enrol the students to the above ‘job outcome’ aims once they have completed day 1/week 13 and you have evidence of this happening. Do not enrol the student to this aim before they have started a job or completed 13 weeks.

We would also expect the Student’s destination and progression record to accurately reflect the Student’s journey from unemployment to employment.
