Keys to Our Success
Key 6: Hiring for the Future
Without great staff, we could not have achieved any of the keys mentioned above; conversely, without revenue generating strategies, we could not have hired the people with the skills and abilities to get us where we want to be. The more we take in outside and chargeable work, the more we are able to add new staff, which amounts to better services for the college. For example, with the increasing demand for "after-hours" services for night students and faculty, we are currently hiring a part-time evening photocopy technician.
