Bates Leads: Fall 2024 Shared Student Employment Training
This fall’s offerings have both asynchronous and in person components. We will centrally track completion and attendance of trainings via Bates Engage.
Bates Engage
Bates Leads affiliates must upload their student employees to the Bates Leads: Student Employment Resources group on Bates Engage by Friday, August 16. We recommend you communicate with your student employees what your expectations are regarding these trainings prior to 8/16. You will assign students to the trainings below via member tags, and may also check on your students’ completion of the trainings via member tags in the group. Please note that you must register even those student employees who took part in this training last year. Please find information on how to use Bates Engage to assign trainings and track completion here:
Asynchronous Training
This training will cover the following topics:
- How to submit your biweekly timesheet
- How to manage your time, commitment, and expectations
- How to communicate in an office environment, including official social media channels
- How to give and receive feedback
- How to handle situations that may arise in the workplace
Each supervisor may set their own deadline for completion; we recommend that it is completed within the first two weeks of hiring.
As a Bates Leads affiliate, you may access this training now to help you decide whether to have your student employees complete it. Note that if this is the first time you’re accessing Bates Engage, there will be a user on-boarding that you will have to complete before viewing the training modules. If you are unable to access the training, please contact leads@bates.edu.
