Reminder: 2025-2026 CRD CWEC/ESAR Reporting Deadline May 29
Districts must enter 2025–2026 Career Work Experience Certification (CWEC) completion status and Employability Skills Attainment Record (ESAR) evaluation scores in the Career Readiness Database (CRD) by Friday, May 29.
The CWEC completion status and ESAR evaluation score are reported to KDE via the CRD for students enrolled in an alternative high school diploma course of study who are working towards career readiness. Refer to the CWEC Administration Guide, ESAR Administration Guide, and CRD User Guide for details.
CRD student registration was automatically imported for eligible Grade 12 and Grade 14 students in an alternative high school course of study or alternate assessment who have completed at least one CWEC course. If a student registration is not showing in the CRD, verify in the student’s Career Ready Alternate Assessment Folder (CRAAF) and/or Infinite Campus (IC) Assessment tab whether the student has already completed CWEC and met an ESAR benchmark. Students are not registered in the CRD if KDE has already received prior-year reporting showing the student met career readiness, or if the student has been assigned a graduation code.
Please note: If a CWEC or ESAR score must be reported to KDE during the 2025–2026 school year and an eligible Grade 12 or Grade 14 student was not automatically loaded, the district may manually register the student in the CRD.
Additionally, Grade 11 students may complete an early ESAR evaluation if the student has completed at least two CWEC courses and are ready to report an ESAR score to KDE. Grade 11 students were not automatically registered in the CRD, but districts may manually enter eligible students for reporting during the current school year.
To register a Grade 11 student—or any other eligible student who was not automatically registered— refer to the CWEC Administration Guide, ESAR Administration Guide, and CRD User Guide for details.
For questions or support with CWEC/ESAR reporting in the CRD, please contact Sherri Craig in the Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE).
