Managing Student Staff
Managing Student Staff
Working with students is why most of us enjoy what we do. How do we make certain they leave us with skills they can transfer to any work environment? We’ll look into assessment, training, and management tools for a card office.
Discussion questions:
Why employ student staff and not part-time or more full-time staff?
What tools are used to assess work performance?
How do we keep our student staff engaged?
