Recruitment of new team members happens year round but most specifically at the end and beginning of each semester. A rigorous training program has been crafted specifically by our team, for our team in Learning & Library Services. Retaining our employees from year to year allows us build a stronger program. During the first semester, the focus will be to orient you to working in the Learning Commons and understanding your strengths and developing areas of concern. During your second semester, you should be showing confidence and develop ideas about more specific areas of focus for your own personal growth and academic success.
Our team will help you begin the process of becoming a vital part of our academic community. Located in the Learning Commons, you have access to the most updated learning spaces, student-and faculty collaborative learning environments, and genuine, practical opportunities for academic development and personal growth. We are motivated by the HIVE concept: Holistic, Inspirational, Visionary, and Expertise.
Once an application is submitted for one of our Peer Tutor positions, our department will contact you to schedule an interview. If all positions are filled, your application will be kept on file.
Candidates that complete a successful interview, will attend New Employee Orientation (NEO) to get acclimated to department procedures, take Title IX and FERPA training, tour our facility, and obtain a KCKCC Student Worker Student ID.
The next step is HIVE, our student employee onboarding program. This collaborative training acclimates students to our culture and general operations. The name itself was created by peer tutors in 2017. The acronym stands for Holistic, Insightful, Visionary, Expertise. Once candidates have completed NEO and HIVE, they will be scheduled to receive ongoing training in their area of employment.
Learning Services is a Certified Learning Center recognized by the National College Learning Center Association (NCLCA). Our rigorous training program helps tutors to build upon existing skills with guided mentorship, peer collaboration, and faculty led workshops. Tutors are paid to attend training.
