Mandatory Student Employment Supervisor Training Opportunities

In order to ensure a positive work experience for student workers, Student Financial Services and Human Resources conduct regular trainings on the student hiring process. This mandatory training covers how to enter a job in NextGen, the steps a student will need to take to be properly hired, how to review and approve time sheets, and how to track federal work study. We leave plenty of time for questions as well.

If you are a new supervisor (primary or secondary), anticipate supervising student employees during this academic year, or simply need a refresher, please contact Jennifer Connolly at jconnolly@iona.edu to obtain the Zoom link.

The training sessions are scheduled as follows:

  • Wednesday, August 12, 2026: 1–2 p.m.
  • Wednesday, September 16, 2026: 2–3 p.m.
  • Thursday, October 22, 2026: 3–4 p.m.
