1 Overview
This specification provides a method to exchange historical education information between trading partners. The schema is not intended to be stand-alone, rather it should be included within other HR-XML schemas. The historical education information may be used for a wide-range of Human Resource business processes. Therefore, it is considered a cross-process object.
1.1 Objective
The objective of this specification is to provide a flexible education history schema. This version will be backwards compatible with Resume, BackgroundCheck, and SIDES. It will also allow for the flexibility required for new development.
The modifications for this version will enhance the global use of the standard.
1.2 Design Requirements
Design requirements include:
· Syntax MUST be self-documenting
· Schema MUST be easy to understand and use
· Schema MUST use approved CPO standards
· Designed for easy reuse
· Backwards compatible with the components used in Resume and BackgroundCheck
2 Business Process Supported
This schema may be used in a wide-range of Human Resource business processes. The following are only two examples that might use the EducationHistory schema.
2.1 Recruiting and Staffing
An individual seeking a job may provide education experience information pertinent to a job. For example, an individual that completed programming courses could use the knowledge gained to apply for a Java programming job. This education history is typically provided on a resume or CV.
2.2 Employee Screening
Often, an employer will request information on a potential employee during the hiring process. This request may include information about education history. This might be used to verify data entered on a resume or job application. For example, an applicant might claim he completed a degree in Human Resource Management. The screening company may request verification of this claim by using the EducationHistory schema in a data exchange between the screening company and the school or institution, or to provide feedback to the potential employer.
