| ReStore Launches New Training Videos! |
 |
It was all Hollywood glitz and glamour at the Habitat ReStore on Thursday August 19th as Habitat rolled out the “green carpet” to welcome volunteers, staff and special guests to the ReStore Training Video Launch Event. The premiere viewing of the videos was made possible by the hard work of a group of students in the Human Resources Management Post Graduate program at Conestoga College.
The video project was part of a course called the Human Resource Capstone Project. The goal was to allow the students to apply their learning to a real life company. The consultation process with the Restore manager Linda Moyer began six months ago when the students analysed training issues, developed solutions and presented recommendations and an action plan. Consistent communication of work related expectations was identified as a training issue for the ReStore and so the students worked in collaboration with the Habitat ReStore staff to create three training videos.
The videos were designed to assist in the orientation of new staff and volunteers to the customer service, product management and recycling activities of the ReStore. The original students involved in the project were Eva Braja, Christine Jenkins, Jessica Street and Lisa Nichels. In the later stages of the project development, Chris Landry, a Broadcasting student at Conestoga College was invited into the process to use his experience as a videographer to film and edit the project.
After an enthusiastic viewing, complete with popcorn, the 20 ReStore staff and volunteers in attendance showed their appreciation for a job well done by presenting the students with Habitat T-shirts, safety glasses and work gloves that had been customized to reflect a Hollywood flare fitting their “producer roles”!
The Human Resource Capstone Project is just one example of how our local Colleges and Universities can be a valued resource for non profit organizations who partner with them to provide opportunities for students to gain real life experience in the working world.
