Creating Workers

It is not possible to create workers in this system. Any student that would like to become a worker needs to enter their details on the “sign up” form. To find the “sign up” form, click Sign Up Form on the Nav bar. The sign up form can be customised to only ask for certain schemes, speak to the Student Worker System Manager for more details about how this works.

Students will enter their details on the form

Groups

Workers are profiled using groups. A group is used to assign a worker to a specific category. Students need to be assigned to at least one of the following categories:

1. Student Worker Scheme
2. Course Level
3. Subject of study
4. Year of Course
5. Right to work status

Within these categories above, there are a range of groups. For example, within the Right to work status category, the groups are UK, EU, INTL (UK student, European student, International student). A student can only be assigned to one group from this category.

There are also further categories that are either scheme specific or course specific. Examples of these are:

1. Accommodation - used in particular to organise accommodation reps, this category contains a group for each type of on campus accommodation. An accommodation rep will need an accommodation group assigned to them.
2. Course speciality - this category includes the groups Foundation Year, Year in Industry and Year Abroad. Students who have or will be doing any of these things as part of their course will need to be assigned the relevant group.

Other groups available are:

1. DBS checked, relevant for the Ambassador Scheme in particular
2. Mature student
3. Welcome Talk Speaker.

Groups are a useful way of assigning a skill to a student. The system uses groups to accurately profile students. By using groups, admins are able to find students with very specific assets and skills when required for jobs.
