With seniority comes additional potential opportunities. In the summer season, the custodial staff may have the chance to explore and acquire valuable skills by temporarily transitioning to different departments. This could involve collaborating with the grounds crew to contribute to the campus's picturesque landscaping, discovering a potential interest in electrical work, or delving into the HVAC trade if that aligns with your preferences.
