JobScape was funded by a State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) grant to Idaho in 2012 from the U.S. Department of Education. The SLDS project is part of a federal initiative to maintain and use a large database of students’ educational records spanning from preschool through higher education and into the workforce in order to provide outcomes and reporting tools for educators, policymakers and the general public.

Idaho’s SLDS, called the Educational Analytics System of Idaho (EASI), was created to measure how well Idaho’s public schools are preparing students for higher education and how well higher education is preparing Idaho’s future workforce. This system is a partnership between the Idaho Department of Education, the Idaho Board of Education and public postsecondary institutions and the Idaho Department of Labor wage record systems.

All personally identifiable information (PII) that is collected into the EASI is protected in accordance with federal and state law. Public reports generated from data within the EASI do not identify individual students.

Certificate and degree information is shown for Idaho's eight public postsecondary institutions*. If no information is shown for an institution, then that certificate or degree program is not offered there. If the program is offered, the certificate and degree data shown indicates how many individuals completed programs at each institution.

This data is supplied by the Educational Analytics System of Idaho (EASI); see About JobScape above for more information.
