Jennifer ,

Any training you would like to provide to Student Support Services would depend on your goals. I'm not familiar with what is specifically meant by "Career Services training" as this is very broad. Additionally, my suggestion would be to first establish your department's goals and how social media will specifically play a role which will then provide insight on how others can support you in those goals through social media. As an example, one may find that other departments may see social media as a waste of time which means training would first start with helping others understand the relevance and how social media will be used by your department to intervene to address some of the challenges you face. Identify where you'll need help with your goals and how you'd like Student Support Services to help you specifically with some actionable items. This may be as simple as having them curate relevant content for you to share, training them to be administrators of accounts to help you manage posts and respond to student/alumni questions, or creating a target list of employers and dividing it up to ask them to start developing relationships with target prospects via LinkedIn. There are so many actions you can have them take but it will first require you to determine your goals and your priorities and what you feel you will need help with as well as what you feel will be feasible for them to do given their own responsibilities and time constraints.

I encourage you to continue this conversation with me if you have further questions, wish to elaborate, or would like help as you think more about how you will approach this.
