Onboarding, PDC Student Employment

Onboarding steps

Onboarding for PD&C student employees consists of a set of self-paced learning modules and a 1-hour group orientation via Teams. Both portions of your onboarding need to be completed to start at your work location.

Learning Modules

The self-paced new employee learning modules are housed in BrightSpace and include required training on several safety topics. There are six modules that generally take a total of 2 hours to complete. You are not required to complete all modules in one sitting, and you can save your progress and return at a later time.

There are mandatory quizzes within the modules that require 100% to pass. You will have 10 attempts to earn 100% on each quiz; be sure to do so before moving on. If you exceed 10 attempts and need more, please email dining-hiring@purude.edu.

BrightSpace can be accessed from the Purdue homepage or by clicking here. You will be asked to log in with your Purdue credentials. If you do not see the “PDC NEO 24-25” course on your BrightSpace homepage, click the “ALL” tab that is located below “My Courses.” Refer to the image provided below if needed.

Troubleshooting: If you still do not see the course in your BrightSpace or have questions or problems with the learning module content, email the Central Hiring team at dining-pdchiring@purdue.edu. Contact ITaP for BrightSpace access issues.

Group Orientation

This 45-60 minute session will cover important employment policies and procedures, as well as provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have before you start at your location. Take a few minutes to review the Student Employee Manual before your session. Your orientation link will be sent via email at least 24 hours in advance. Orientation is facilitated by the Central Hiring team.
