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:
