OP115 - Hiring the Right Faculty for Your School

Facilitator: Jeffrey Schillinger

This course shows you how to hire high-quality career school instructors and orient them to your school. The skills also apply to hiring staff. It's easy to hire someone to do a job. But it can be difficult to hire the right person. You want instructors who are top notch. They represent your school and interact with the most people at your campus and particularly your students. This course starts with how to determine exactly what type of people you need as your instructors. Then it shows you how to recruit and hire them. Once hired, you'll learn how to introduce them to the working environment at your school. By the time you finish this course, you'll be recruiting, hiring, and orienting quality instructors. You'll see results in improved enrollments, student achievement, retention, and completion.

What participants are saying about this course...



The information received during this course was very valuable and I certainly learned new things that I plan to implement.



Great course. It will be very helpful in my job function.



I really enjoyed this course -- it had a lot of useful information, and made me consider some of the interviewing techniques I use now and ways to improve them. I believe interviewing and recruiting is a serious and difficult process... I am not saying it will get easier with application of the principles taught in this course, but I will say they were valuable, and provided a fine toolset. Thanks for a helpful course.



Good Stuff! Picked up some GREAT ideas and expanded my general HR knowledge.



I learned much that will be useful to my organization.
