Properties You Can Include

WorkBasedProgram schema supports the following schema.org properties. Required fields are the minimum Google needs to consider your markup valid; recommended fields unlock richer search result appearances.

Property	Description	Expected Type	Status
additionalType	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.	Text, URL	Optional
alternateName	An alias for the item.	Text	Optional
applicationDeadline	The date on which the program stops collecting applications for the next enrollment cycle. Flexible application deadlines (for example, a program with rolling admissions) can be described in a textual string, rather than as a DateTime.	Date, Text	Optional
applicationStartDate	The date at which the program begins collecting applications for the next enrollment cycle.	Date	Optional
dayOfWeek	The day of the week for which these opening hours are valid.	DayOfWeek	Optional
description	A description of the item.	Text, TextObject	Optional
disambiguatingDescription	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.	Text	Optional
educationalCredentialAwarded	A description of the qualification, award, certificate, diploma or other educational credential awarded as a consequence of successful completion of this course or program.	EducationalOccupationalCredential, Text, URL	Optional
educationalProgramMode	Similar to courseMode, the medium or means of delivery of the program as a whole. The value may either be a text label (e.g. "online", "onsite" or "blended"; "synchronous" or "asynchronous"; "full-time" or "part-time") or a URL reference to a term from a controlled vocabulary (e.g. https://ceds.ed.gov/element/001311#Asynchronous ).	Text, URL	Optional
endDate	The end date and time of the item (in [ISO 8601 date format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601)).	Date, DateTime	Optional
financialAidEligible	A financial aid type or program which students may use to pay for tuition or fees associated with the program.	DefinedTerm, Text	Optional
hasCourse	A course or class that is one of the learning opportunities that constitute an educational / occupational program. No information is implied about whether the course is mandatory or optional; no guarantee is implied about whether the course will be available to everyone on the program.	Course	Optional
identifier	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.	PropertyValue, Text, URL	Optional
image	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.	ImageObject, URL	Recommended
mainEntityOfPage	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#mainEntityBackground) for details.	CreativeWork, URL	Optional
maximumEnrollment	The maximum number of students who may be enrolled in the program.	Integer	Optional
name	The name of the item.	Text	Required
numberOfCredits	The number of credits or units awarded by a Course or required to complete an EducationalOccupationalProgram.	Integer, StructuredValue	Optional
occupationalCategory	A category describing the job, preferably using a term from a taxonomy such as [BLS ONET-SOC](http://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html), [ISCO-08](https://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco08/) or similar, with the property repeated for each applicable value. Ideally the taxonomy should be identified, and both the textual label and formal code for the category should be provided.\n Note: for historical reasons, any textual label and formal code provided as a literal may be assumed to be from ONET-SOC.	CategoryCode, Text	Optional
occupationalCredentialAwarded	A description of the qualification, award, certificate, diploma or other occupational credential awarded as a consequence of successful completion of this course or program.	EducationalOccupationalCredential, Text, URL	Optional
