Training Student Employees

One of the most important aspects of employing students is making sure they are adequately trained on their job duties.

Student employees should be trained on:

• specific tasks required for their job
• office equipment, procedures, and any other useful information specific to the department
• Student employees should be introduced to the various people they may work with in their positions.
• Supervisors should communicate expectations to student employees as early and as clearly as possible including topics such as:
  • Time management, setting priorities and meeting deadlines
  • Calling in sick, taking vacation and being late
  • Submitting schedules and timesheets

• On-Campus student employees should also be trained on other University policies such as the drug and alcohol policy.
