Updated induction guidance for Academic Rep Co-ordinators

sparqs is pleased to announce an update to our induction resource for new academic representation co-ordinators and similar students’ association staff. The Induction guide for Academic Representation Co-ordinators contains helpful information for any new students’ association or institution staff member with a student engagement role.

No matter the new staff member’s prior experience or knowledge, the guide contains helpful context, resources, and reflective activities to support their induction. In this newest update, we have added introductory information and activities related to the Student Learning Experience model and Scotland’s Ambition for Student Partnership. New guidance on the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework has also been added to the guide, as well as a timeline of key events and activities for student engagement staff.

We are eager to welcome new student engagement staff in students’ associations and institutions, so please do reach out to your sparqs key contact for additional support during new staff induction.

If you have any queries or feedback about the published resource, please get in touch with Chase Greenfield, Development Consultant – chase.greenfield@sparqs.ac.uk.
