The project "Development of a career monitoring system for graduates of secondary schools" is a response to the need to improve and expand the existing career monitoring system. The main goal of the project is to adjust the scope of information collected in the system and the way of reporting the results of analyses to the diverse needs of many categories of recipients: the minister responsible for education and upbringing, pedagogical supervision bodies, representatives of local government units, school heads, teachers, labour market institutions, employers, parents and pupils, as well as scientists and researchers. The career monitoring system launched in 2021, created by the Institute for Educational Research (IBE), provides valuable information on the situation of graduates, but omits several important groups. It does not include participants of the Voluntary Labor Corps (OHP), people educated in the craft system, requiring special education or foreigners, including refugees from Ukraine. An important group, currently omitted from the system, are early school leavers, who, according to Eurostat, account for 6% of 18-24 year olds. Covering them with career monitoring requires taking into account information from the Education Information System (SIO) on students starting education with a group of graduates of a given year. Information obtained from the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) also needs to be supplemented – the lack of information on the size of employment burdens salary estimates (up to 8% of technical graduates take up their first part-time job), and the use of information on the profession of an insured person would allow assessing the scale of taking up work in the learned profession among graduates of industry education. Employment statistics from the monitoring system are currently underestimated due to the classification of people taking up work in agriculture as non-workers – the problem concerns about 4% of graduates, and its solution requires access to information on graduates insured in the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS). On the other hand, for graduates who are under 26 years of age and continue their education, there is also a lack of information on employment under civil law contracts (about 28% of technical graduates taking up their first job). Data from the National Revenue Administration (KAS) can be used to determine the scale of employment in this form. In connection with the indicated restrictions, the project provides for the extension of the scope of administrative data obtained for monitoring from existing registers (SIO, ZUS) and the addition of new registers: KRUS and KAS data. The implementation of these changes requires the preparation and implementation of legal, analytical and IT solutions that are the subject of the project. An important element of the project is also the expansion of the monitoring results reporting system, thanks to which they will be available in a more accessible form for a wider range of users. Taking into account the diversity of stakeholders' needs, it is crucial to create the possibility of independent selection of data sets and reports relevant to them, taking into account, among others, such criteria as gender, school profession and industry or territorial cross-section. The modernized results reporting system will include predefined report views tailored to the needs of individual user groups, supporting and educational materials, and will also allow users to independently build lists tailored to their individual needs. The project will ensure the sustainability of its effects by introducing legal, analytical and IT solutions enabling the improvement of the way of implementing an important public task supporting the implementation of education policy. Modernization of the monitoring system will increase both the scope of the presented information and the availability of results, which will be published in an interactive, readable form.
