ACHE 2014

Penn State’s World Campus future growth is expected to reach 45,000 students. This growth requires hiring new advisers and onboarding and developing staff in remote locations. We will share our new online adviser training program which prepares new advisers in a consistent manner, allowing them to develop skills at their own pace. We will demonstrate how we utilized the NACADA components for adviser training as a guideline for developing the program. Regardless of whether your campus setting is virtual or traditional, advisers work with students, utilize resources and collaborate with team members in an online world.

Participants will learn how to use an online environment to develop advisers who are confident with skills, knowledge and online resources right from the start. Additionally, they will leave the session with a framework for training that is consistent and serves as a resource that is adaptable for use at their institutions.
