Training Frontline Student Leaders in Customer Service


Equip student leaders to make great first impressions—during orientation, and beyond.

Overview

As institutions prepare to open for the new academic year, training frontline student leaders—including Orientation Leaders, Resident Assistants, and front desk workers—is critical to enhancing the campus culture of service and creating a welcoming environment. Not highlighting “customer service” skills in student staff training leaves your most prominent frontline ambassadors ill-equipped to make a great first impression. 

This webcast will provide an overview of the skills that student leader training programs should incorporate in order to highlight the importance of customer service, including: 

  • Active Listening 
  • Working with Difficult Customers 
  • Making a Great First Impression 

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for those who train student leaders, as well as for frontline student leaders themselves. Professional and student staff who work in areas like orientation, residence life, enrollment services, and student services will also benefit from this webinar.
