The ministry expects service providers to use their professional judgement when determining if an activity is better defined as training or as education. The ministry suggests considering things including but not limited to the type of service provider who delivered the training/education (ie. training provider vs ministry of education/college/university), duration and intensity of the training/education,… Continue reading How is ‘training’ defined? How is this different from the definition of ‘education’?
Program: Get SET (Skills, Education and Training)
How long can a client be on the Case Activity Report (Report 61)?
Learners are filtered into the report based on their service plan being in an open, approved or active status, or being closed in the fiscal year. Therefore, the longest they could be shown on the Case Activity Report is any given fiscal year where they had a service plan in open, approved or active status.
Can one learner have more than one active Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) service plan with the same site?
No. A learner can only have one active Get SET service plan with one service provider. Clients may have concurrent service plans (open, approved or active) of different program types (i.e., a client could have active Employment Service (ES) and Get SET service plans at once). In addition, an Get SET learner may also have… Continue reading Can one learner have more than one active Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) service plan with the same site?
Is there a clear definition of “milestone complete” in the Get SET data dictionary?
No, the data dictionary does not define how a service provider determines a milestone to be complete. Selection and user guides for milestones and culminating tasks are all available on the password protected Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework Repository.
In the eligibility criteria, please explain the 10 per cent population exception limit (those below 19 years old).
On an exception-only basis, Get SET (Skills, Education and Training) service providers may serve young adults between ages 16 and 18 who demonstrate the maturity to benefit from adult education.

Get SET service providers may allow age exceptions, not exceeding 10… Continue reading In the eligibility criteria, please explain the 10 per cent population exception limit (those below 19 years old).
Do carryover clients need a fresh milestone every fiscal year to be counted as a learner?
Yes, to demonstrate ‘progress’ on Report 64, the learner must complete at least one milestone within the reporting period.
What does “data is current as of X date” mean on the reports? What data does this include?
Each EOIS-CaMS report has been assigned a run schedule with pre-processed reports ranging from daily, weekly, or monthly run times. Report data is current as of the end of the previous business day. The date and time that appears next to ‘This report’s data is current to date …’ represents the last EOIS-CaMS data refresh… Continue reading What does “data is current as of X date” mean on the reports?

Can Report 61 and Report 64 be run on the same date to minimize reconciliation issues?
The run schedule for each of these reports is different: Report 64 Detailed Service Quality Report is run monthly, whereas Report 61 Case Activity Report is run weekly. To assist service providers in their reconciliation activities, the EOIS Service Provider Reporting website retains a total of 56 weeks of Report 61 Case Activity Reports.
In Report 60D, ‘Completions’ refers to completions of all three indicators: Milestone, Culminating Task and Learning Activities. But in documentation, clients have been asked if they are willing to do one of the culminating tasks. If refused, should it be removed from completions?
No, culminating tasks should not be removed from the completion of goal paths. The purpose of a culminating task is to provide the learner, the practitioner, and the ministry with one of three indicators (learning activities, milestones and culminating task) which, in combination, provide these three groups with a reasonable assurance that the learner is… Continue reading In Report 60D, ‘Completions’ refers to completions of all three indicators: Milestone, Culminating Task and Learning Activities.

In Report 64, the ‘Progress’ core measure lists one indicator of ‘per cent of learners who complete at least one milestone.’ Does the milestone have to be completed or successfully completed/attained?
Learner Progress is a measure, during service and at exit of the number of learners who ‘successfully’ complete at least one required milestone related to their individual goal path.
