Student and Employer Comments

 

This joint venture has been a "win-win" experience. The student employee has taken initiative in demonstrating her desire to excel at the workplace. This program is a great example of what LEARNING is all about!

I feel that the CWEE program is a very valuable program. It allowed my employer and I to really connect on a professional level. It also allowed me to work on my objectives effectively and with really great results. I will consider taking this class again - I really enjoyed it!
-- Aprile Broudes

 

I enjoyed teaching my student employee new tasks in the restaurant and holding her accountable for her daily tasks as well. Having more employees involved in managerial opportunities helps create a better understanding of the difficult issues managers handle on a daily basis. My student employee can now do inventory and this makes her more valuable. Thank you for the program!

When I signed up for the CWEE program i expected to learn some things, but I never knew I would learn as much as I did. this program taught me a lot - from business etiquette to resumes. This is an excellent program!

The Work Experience class has been a fun and rewarding experience this semester. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn valuable tips - from business etiquette to resume writing skills & techniques. My only regret is that I didn't take advantage of this class earlier!

From an employer's point of view, I wish that every applicant would take this class. From the original request for an application, to it's delivery, to the interview, if just some of the simple suggestions that are covered in this class were followed, many students would find getting a job a very attainable task.

I have enjoyed being enrolled in the Work Experience Program. This semester gave me the opportunity to set goals for not only my employer but for myself in order to become a better employee. In the past, I left the goal setting up to my employer, but this semester I had a great opportunity to set personal goals and fulfill them. P.S. Online classes rock!

From looking at job announcements to writing a "Thank you" letter after an interview, this class covers everything in great detail

I liked using the format of the CWEE Program because it allowed me to set specific objectives for the employee that helped me assess his performance on the job. The employee and I were able to collaborate in creating the objectives and these became a reference point for the employee to monitor his own performance.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to have taken the CWEE program. The teacher was very helpful and gave a great deal of helpful information. I thought I knew the ins-and-outs to applying for a job and making a resume. However there were many aspects I need to improve on and now I know how!
