ASAP Training

Advancing Students As Professionals training is an interactive and engaging look into the world of work! While ASAP training is mandatory for all new on-campus student employees, it is also highly recommended for returning employees or those employed by other entities.

ASAP is an hour-long course that is offered twice a month. There are additional trainings offered at the beginning of each semester.

Topics covered during the training include:

• Phone etiquette
• Customer service
• Professionalism
• Appropriate work attire
• Ethics and confidentiality

The Center for Career and Professional Development recognizes the importance of preparing students for their transition from SFA to the world of work. As student learning extends beyond the walls of the classroom, on-campus employment presents the perfect opportunity for experiential learning. ASAP training is designed to acclimate new student workers to the standards of employment at SFA, as well as to help them realize the importance and relativity of professionalism in their current positions. Skills, traits, and habits developed while working on-campus with faculty and staff directly impact their success in future careers.

On-campus student employees: New student employees must register and attend ASAP training before they can begin work on-campus or be placed on payroll. For additional information on necessary new-hire paperwork and mandatory training, visit Human Resources' Student Employment page.
