Resources for student employee development
IU employee trainings
There are a variety of trainings that are either required or suggested to be completed by all IU faculty and staff, including student employees. If your students have not completed any of the below trainings, we suggest providing them some time to do so.
Implicit bias training
The Kirwan Institute at The Ohio State University has developed a research-backed series through which you and your student employees can gain insights about your minds, the origins of implicit associations, your own biases, and strategies for addressing those. Each module is divided into brief lessons, and many take less than 10 minutes to complete.
