Abstract
Perceptions of Graduate Assistants who were completing a formal training process in a Western Financial Aid Office were examined, qualitatively. A tailored, formal training did not exist in this office, until one was created for the purposes of this study. According to the semistructured interviews conducted, Graduate Assistants found the training helpful, wish they had received the training as soon as they started working in the office, and found the setup of the program smart due to the formulation of the program being grounded in the literature, which aided in the formulation of the program being broad enough to appeal to many learning preferences, but specific enough to efficiently teach a large amount of information in a short amount of time. Study findings include recommendations that an office start implementing this program within the first two weeks of new GA employment.
