Registration is open for the Georgia Library Association’s next Carterette Series webinar, “Centralize Your Library Student Employment and Design an Engaging, Efficient, and Career-Ready Workforce”. This free event will take place on Wednesday, March 26, at 1:00 PM CDT.
Description
At Northern Arizona University’s Cline Library, we’ve created a unified student employment model that fosters community and collaboration through cross-training, standardized core competencies, and a clear career development and promotion path for student employees. In this session, attendees will learn how to centralize their student employment and implement a dynamic, cross-functional, and efficient student workforce to meet the library’s needs while promoting student success through advancement and leadership opportunities.
Attendees will become familiar with the following.
- operationalizing the model: step-by-step breakdown of building a central student employment operation, from recruitment and training to career development and promotion
- best practices in cross-training: examples of cross-departmental training and collaboration, and how to overcome common barriers
- career pathways: using National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) competencies to create a structured framework for student career growth and development
