This student guide is intended to assist persons employed as supervisors in recruiting, selecting, and inducting employees. Discussed in the first three sections are the following topics: the staffing process and the importance of good staff; recruitment and selection (job and ideal person profiles and job interview procedures); and induction (induction into the workplace, school leavers, and followup). Each of these sections contains an introduction, sections of instructional text that are interspersed with reinforcing learning activities, and a section summary. The fourth part of the guide includes a series of performance checks (an end check, a tutor check, and a work-based project). Concluding the guide is a unit review that reviews the objectives addressed in the guide, describes related extension courses, and lists recommended reference materials. (MN)
