Participant Management covers the management of participant accounts by non-participants. It includes how to create, categorize & update participant accounts with profile & demographic data. It does not include how to manage & track program data.
Participant Management Functionality

- Participant Account Data Entry & Editing - Discusses the approaches for updating participant accounts, including their program categories & profile and demographic data.
Participant Account Creation
There are 2 types and processes for creating participant accounts.
- Authenticated Accounts - Invite participants to create their own authenticated accounts using ApprentiScope invitations or public links, either of which gives them immediate access to ApprentiScope
- Managed Accounts - Create managed accounts for your participants that you control, meaning they will not have access unless you give provide them access at a later time.
Participant Account Assignments
Each participant's account has a number of categories to which it must or can be assigned that can be edited or changed.
- Occupations & Employers - All participants must be assigned a user type, occupation/program, and employer. These assignment are handled directly through their account creation process (see Creating Participant Accounts). However, they can be edited.
- Supervisors, Mentors & RTI Providers - Participants can be assigned to supervisors, mentors, and/or RTI providers. These assignments will depend on who will need access to participant accounts and to what information participants may require access.
- Supervisors with ApprentiScope access only have access to participants who are assigned to them. Participants can be assigned to one or more supervisors.
- RTI provider can refer to the organization providing related technical instruction/coursework or actual instructors. If only 1 RTI provider organization exists for a program, no assignment is necessary. However, if multiple organizations provide instruction for the same program, the participants must be assigned to the correct one to ensure their platform provides them with the correct courses and any RTI instructor has access to the correct participants. Participants can be assigned to only 1 RTI provider.
- Mentors are automatically given access to all participants who are assigned to a specific occupation, so no participant assignment is required.

- Cohorts - Participants can be assigned to Cohorts to help organize participant groups. Each participant can be assigned to only one cohort.
- Program Statuses - Participants can be assigned to Program Statuses.
- Active - This is the default status assigned to all participants upon account creation.
- Completed - The participant has completed the program.
- Cancelled - The participant chose to leave the program.
- Suspended - The participant's program has been permanently or temporarily ended.
