A Brief Conversation About True Colors

Some of my first jobs were work study positions at my college. My original intention for applying for those jobs was to help me pay for school. What I received in addition to a paycheck was a strong work foundation which I continue to apply in my daily work life. Each semester, we offer Student Employee True Colors sessions with the goal to help promote a strong work foundation. This may be the first job for many of these students and it’s an ideal time for them to discover their strengths while understanding the various needs, motivations, and communication styles that they will encounter in a work environment. The Student Employee True Colors training has familiar roots in the sessions offered to staff but with a focus on the needs of students. The tools provided in the training will allow for immediate application within the office and establish strong practices within the workplace that they can take with them beyond their employment at UTSA.

Just like when I was in college, these students likely needed some additional funds for school when they applied for their jobs. The goal of the Student Employee True Colors sessions is to provide them with more than just a paycheck. Please encourage your student workers to attend the Student Employee True Colors training when they are available.
