WBLR0566: Missing Internship - Employer Performance Evaluation Code

If Work-Based Learning Type Code is equal to 10 (Internship), then Internship - Employer Performance Evaluation Code must be populated.

Keep completion, timing, and evidence together

Program evidenceIdentify the completed activity, type, dates, employer or course connection, hours, evaluation, sponsorship, and supervision.
Grade and year gateInclude completed activities for students in grades 9–12. Report grades 9–11 summer activity in the subsequent academic year; exclude activity after graduation.
WBLR replacement fileBuild the complete school-and-year population before upload because replacement processing supersedes the prior population for that operational key.
EOY 1 reconciliationConfirm accepted records and reconcile participant evidence, course connections, internships, and certification reports.

Concrete diagnostic checks

  • Confirm Work-Based Learning Type Code 21.09 before changing 21.13 Employer Performance Evaluation Code.
  • For 10 (Internship), this field is required.
  • Use the underlying activity evidence; do not change the type merely to preserve or remove a value.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the rejected evidence

    Record the submission ID, row number, exact 15-field row, source file, export time, and rejected values before changing anything.

  2. 2

    Confirm the student, school, and reporting year

    Match the current SSID, qualifying SENR enrollment, School of Attendance, grade level, activity dates, and Academic Year ID.

  3. 3

    Verify the completed activity

    Have the work-based learning owner confirm the activity type and retain the employer, course, hours, evaluation, sponsorship, and supervision evidence that applies.

  4. 4

    Apply the rule-specific checks

    Confirm Work-Based Learning Type Code 21.09 before changing 21.13 Employer Performance Evaluation Code. For 10 (Internship), this field is required. Use the underlying activity evidence; do not change the type merely to preserve or remove a value.

  5. 5

    Correct the owning source

    Report the employer supervisor’s documented evaluation using the current CALPADS code set.

  6. 6

    Regenerate the complete replacement population

    Rebuild the WBLR file for the school and academic year, compare record counts and primary keys with the approved source roster, upload, and confirm acceptance.

  7. 7

    Reconcile EOY 1

    Review the applicable CALPADS WBLR and EOY 1 outputs, then inspect every row affected by the same SIS, program, or extract rule.
