The document outlines the purpose and agenda for an introductory meeting of a student employment outcomes workgroup. The workgroup aims to understand the role of student employment in student development, identify learning outcomes, and opportunities for shared training and evaluation processes. The meeting will involve brainstorming the knowledge, skills, and abilities students need for jobs, how learning will be facilitated through training, and how performance will be assessed and improved. Learning outcomes will be defined using Bloom's taxonomy and drafted in a standard formula. The workgroup process will involve reviewing jobs, defining common skill sets, and exploring common training and evaluation approaches.
