Strategy/Project Description: 

ncreased the network of faculty and staff (advisors, employer, residence hall director, and faculty, for example) to monitor the student employee, providing encouragement and feedback.

Encouraged on-campus hiring managers to further develop their student employees by completing a semester-based evaluation regarding strengths and potential areas for improvement in job performance.

Led a Student Employee Manager meeting in spring 2015 to discuss how to properly hire a student employee, updates on the Student Employment Orientation, upcoming optional trainings, how to hire an international student at CCGA and an update from Human Resources.

Continued to provide and refine onboarding (Student Employment Orientation) presentation.

Creating a manual to orient new student employees to campus, including important phone numbers, information on services offered from individual departments as well as photos of staff with contact information so that student employees may adjust to the new environment more quickly.

Continuing Education trainings: Money Management for Student Workers, Adobe Photoshop, Intercultural Awareness in the Workplace, and Excel training.

Hosted a spring 2015 On-Campus Job Fair and intend to host another in fall 2015.

Conducted 8 regular SEO and 7 small group orientations for spring 2015 and the beginning of summer 2015; reached 69 student employees during that time period for Student Employee Orientations (SEO).

Ensured that every student that attended an SEO was sent an online satisfaction survey within 48 hours of attending – three questions were asked, two of which were relevant to Student Employment: what did you like about orientation? What can be improved about orientation? And when would it be best day of the week and time to host a career services workshop? (Responses were overwhelmingly positive with only one neutral response.)

Realized an average on‐campus student workers’ overall GPA of 3.09 in fall 2014, while the off‐campus student workers’ average institutional GPA was 3.01.  In each instance, it was higher than the average institutional GPA for all enrolled students – 2.81.  In terms of on-campus, first-time student fall-to-spring and fall-to-fall retention, student workers achieved 91.3% and 82.6% rates, respectively.  Off-campus, first-time student workers, on the other hand, experienced fall-to-spring and fall-to-fall retention at 86.3% and 70.6%, respectively
