Resources for career staff to elevate the student employee experience


Onboarding new employees is a multifaceted process. Onboarding is not only a time to train someone on the day-to-day of their role but is the first opportunity to share the values and culture of your organization with new staff.
Staff Development is an opportunity to focus on training student employees in your staff area. This includes providing feedback, implementing intentional and structured training processes, and empowering student employees to think critically on the job.


Through the lens of CSU’s Career Competencies, Career Development empowers student employees to discover the transferable career skills behind their campus employment.
