Core webinar: More Than a Desk Job: Skills for Student Workers

Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2022

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



This is the third session in a four-part series regarding Technology

Description: Since opening in January 2015, the University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga Library Studio has operated with a rotating group of five to
seven student workers. While a few start with knowledge of some equipment
and software, many do not. To get them up and running as quickly as
possible, we have a series of training exercises, followed by Weekly
Challenges that introduce new skills and keep others fresh. Over the past
six years, this has evolved into a program that graduates young
professionals with skills many of their peers are missing, and we’ll show
you how we did it.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Develop training for specific service points that can be self-directed;

2. Create ongoing tasks that encourage the continual improvement of needed
skills; and

3. Develop a student worker program that improves skills and creates
experiences tailored to helping students build a strong resume for their
eventual job hunt.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in the topic can benefit from this session and is
welcome to participate.
