VPSL Workshops

Student Employment has developed workshops specifically for departments within the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Life for student workers as well as hiring supervisors. Many of the workshops that are specifically for student workers incorporate the Steps to Leaps Pillars as well as the LPDI Competencies, making them great training and development opportunities. Workshops will most likely be a minimum of a half-hour and shouldn't go over one hour.

Departments interested in participating in a workshop should email studentemployment@purdue.edu to schedule a session. 1-1 sessions could also be possible.
