3 Must Haves for New Hire Training

The Georgia Library Association Carterette Series Webinars presents

3 Must Haves for New Hire Training 

Wednesday, August 7, 2024
2pm Eastern (11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm Central)
Cost: Free

Description: Design intentional training plans by using activities that engage both existing stakeholders and new talent. This session will explore three important training moments for new staff:

• something “grounding” that taps into librarianship’s goals
• something “inclusive” that bridges personal experiences and community needs
• something “forward focused” that illuminates new employees’ career paths at your library.

If you are considering refreshing or building a training program for new employees, please join this lively presentation and discussion.
