Role Specific Training

General Supervisor Training - Willamette provides in-person training for those supervising staff to provide them foundational information to help them be successful managing others.  Topics include an introduction to the HR team and their function, resources available on HR managed site pages, hiring new employees, onboarding, student employment, compensation and payroll, time away from work, performance management, training and development, accommodations, safety, workers compensation, legal and risk, and offboarding when an employee leaves Willamette.  The course is a combination of lecture, videos, and hands on activities.  Human Resources will reach out to managers, but you are also free to contact us at hr@willamette.edu to inform us you wish to attend the next session.

Supervisor Training for Student Managers - In addition to training for those who manage staff, training is also offered to those who solely managed students.  The content contains many of the elements within the general supervisor training, but focuses on the student experience, and differentiates in areas that are unique, such as the process of hiring students that differs from hiring staff.  The assignment of managing students is more dynamic than being designated to manage staff, so be sure to reach out to us if you start managing students and haven't heard from us.

Campus Safety Authorities (CSAs) are responsible for reporting certain crimes to Campus Safety as a requirement of the Clery Act. As part of our commitment to promoting a safe and secure campus environment, it is essential that all individuals serving as CSAs complete the necessary training to fulfill their roles effectively. The training provided is designed to provide CSAs with the knowledge and skills required to carry out their responsibilities in accordance with federal guidelines and regulations.

Clery Act regulations defines the role of CSA as:

• An institution’s campus police or security department
• Other people with security responsibilities, like those monitoring access to campus property (such as parking lots, residence halls, and athletic venues)
• People or organizations designated in an institution’s security policy as those to whom students and employees should report crimes
• Officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, such as student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings.  Those managing student clubs are also included in this category

The course is comprised of two lessons.  The first lesson, Identifying and Reporting Sexual Misconduct, examines concrete ways to recognize, prevent, and report situations of sexual misconduct by educators. The learner will test their own decision-making skills through scenarios based on actual cases of abuse.  This second lesson, Shine a Light, is a short video covering the warning signs of sexual abuse by adults. It also reviews specific locations to keep an eye on and concrete steps for reporting incidents or suspicions.
