    “This is a diverse community that is Christ-centered, people-focused, student-oriented, quality-driven, and future-directed”. Out of the above Mission Statement, student-oriented sticks out the most to me. When I think of college I immediately think of learning, experiencing new things, maturing, getting involved, and making new and everlasting friendships. To do these things students need to be involved and support other students, to come together and encourage each other while we all learn to spread our wings and fly.…

    1. There are several problems within the company with regards to the turnover of staff for the role of Clerical Administrative Support. This seems to be a problem that has arisen through the recruitment processes of the company. One issue being that the person responsible for the recruitment of staff for the post is that they did not have the adequate time to follow appropriate recruitment process and the first candidate interviewed was employed. This issue may be due to the fact that it was not discussed with fellow colleagues on what requirements were needed for potential employees to possess in order to fill the position. Another issue is that the position vacancy was passed onto an employment recruitment agency. This is not a suitable recruitment method for the company to use as the agency does not have full knowledge of the job requirements. A clear job description needs to be drawn up so that the candidates as well as the interviewer know what is expected of them. Person specifications can then be drawn up from the job description so that the candidate is aware of the main job role and tasks as well as the knowledge and skills required in order to fill the position. This will also help the interviewer with the interview process. Methods that can be used to aid the interviewer in selecting the right candidate for the position are biodata, selection interview, rating, psychological testing, and organisational data.…

    Many students go to college with the sole intention to get their degree, become employed, and earn a higher salary. Students with these intentions tend to struggle more throughout their college years. Students go to college because they obtain skills and characteristics that employers find desirable. These skills and characteristics also allow them to function in society. Making the leap from high school classrooms to college campuses can be difficult for many students simply because college professors expect so much more inside and outside of the classroom. Students who go to college are expected to be self-sufficient from the day they get there. At the collegiate level, students should come to class ready to participate, engage in the course…

    Community colleges are academically blended for the individual student. While community colleges furnish students with affordability and readily available education, many students are vulnerable. One way for a student to be successful, is to make informed choices regarding their education. Likewise, students that are well prepared for college are more likely to succeed. The goal of the college is to retain students from admission to graduation. Three ways to improve student retention are orientation programs, student services, and most importantly, student attitude and preparedness. Improving student retention is critical for student success.…
