WORK PAMPHLET!
Edit: Changed up a little bit about the number of classes Professors can teach in Character Creation 3
Beacon: The place you work at
Faculty: Almost as a rule the entirety of the staff of Beacon are made up of Elite Hunters who have retired or are still considered on provisional active duty status.
Roster: The various staff positions at Beacon Academy. Due to various contracts ending, terminations, scandals, acts of God, and other reasons, classes that should be spread out this year are being undertaken by the remaining staff at Beacon. It is Headmaster Ozpin's wish that new hires are quickly brought into Beacon so that they may prepare for the coming year.
Professor Ozpin
Headmaster
Professor of Philosophy:
Professor of Semblance Studies:
Notes: While extraordinarily busy, Ozpin shows no interest in stepping down from his teaching duties as he states that he will simply make time for his students.
Professor Glynda Goodwitch
Deputy Headmistress:
Professor of General Combat:
Professor of Anti-Auric Combat:
Professor of Auric Studies:
Notes: Searching for a replacement so that she may take up Headmistress duties in full in order to lighten the load for herself as well as Ozpin. She is currently quite frazzled from her school falling into shambles around her.
Professor Peter Port
Professor of Grimm Studies:
Professor of Anti-Grimm Combat:
Professor of Hunter-Civilian Studies:
Notes: While a great huntsman, Peter Port is more of a hands on type of teacher better suited to instructing students in the field. Professors Goodwich and Ozpin may wish to hire someone to take over his duties for the beginning years while he takes the upper years out for Hunting Expeditions.
Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck
Professor of Strategic and Tactical Combat:
Professor of History and Government:
Professor of Anthropology and Culture:
Notes: While Oobleck certainly knows his stuff, even he would be overwhelmed at what is essentially six subjects compressed down into three. The staff is worried that he will either overdose on caffeine and die or become a coma patient when the coffee finally stops working.
Doctor Paula Peach
Associate Professor of Chemistry:
Associate Professor of Wilderness Survival:
Associate Professor of Dust Arts:
Notes: On paid leave due to complications during pregnancy. She literally cannot leave the bed for eight months and will have to teach class via scroll conference and is hoping to find an assistant to help her or take her place entirely for at least one of her courses.
Positions Available (not a vote)
Assistant Professor: While not completely qualified to completely replace a single teacher, you are more than capable of holding down a single elective class or helping your senior professor in all of their courses.
Associate Professor: In this position you have the duties of a normal professor, but you will be limited to the lower years until you are made a teacher in full.
Professor: You will be allowed to teach up to three classes, one primary class split between years and two elective classes available for all years.
*There are more positions than those posted above, this is just what is considered critical to graduating as a well rounded hunter.*
"Teaching is like growing plants. Give them water once in awhile, throw shit on them, and hopefully they don't get ruined by pests, animals, or the occasional natural disaster."
-Excerpt from a certain Professor Hatake
Duties of a Professor:
Courses:
Primary Class: This is a cumulative core class that a student must pass each year in order to move up to the next grade or risk being held back or flunking out. These classes are split between Freshmen / Sophomore / Junior / Senior years with the occasional combined class between students that are a single year apart for group study.
Elective Class: Students are required to take a specific number of electives in their time at Beacon with most completing that number before senior year. It is through these classes that a student can earn an actual major to further improve their standing in the future ranks of their peers.
Club Manager: Not your bog standard after school club, belonging to a Club in Beacon means both power and status to students. Based off the many Knight Orders of Remnant, older teams will 'recruit' younger teams into their fold until a unification between a single team representing every year is present within the Club. These students will share a single large dormitory area in Beacon much like a fraternity or sorority house and compete with other Clubs to gain whatever advantage they can over one another.
While some may disagree on this system, this is as an accurate representation you can get to what your students will experience post graduation and it will be your job upon being chosen as a representative by the students to be their 'faction leader'. You will help mediate inter club disputes, get them what resources you can, and make sure they don't cause too much trouble.
You can of course tell the students to kindly fuck off and find someone else to do the job
Student Counselor: Somewhat different from what a club manager does in that rather than look after four teams of differing years, you will be on hand to advise students of an entire year. You will be advising the same class of students as they move up year by year and you will act as their guide in the best of times and their rock in the worst of times.
Worry not though, every year has at least two counselors to split the class between them so you won't be alone in dealing with teenage drama. Probably.
Of course this is also another job you don't have to take. It should go without saying that being a Club Manager and a Student Counselor are mutually exclusive.

The Students: Your cute little sprouts!
Students: Max 400 full time students
Admission Age: 17-21 (Certain exceptions will be made for prodigiously talented cases)
Admission Process: Every year starts with around 400 prospective students, of those only 100 students will pass initiation. The best of those who fail will be placed on the short roster to be called in to replace possible drop outs, casualties, and so on throughout the year, but the entirety of the three hundred will be assigned to the Standard Hunter Corps pool along with most other Valean Combat School Graduates for the next four years (or more depending on their individual contracts). It is from this stock that most of the 400 prospective students come from each year with the newbloods being made up from the top 10% of the various combat schools on Remnant who get first pick on where they will be going. A relatively small number of prospective students do come from other backgrounds however, and those are tested personally by a Beacon instructor to see if they can make the cut. This doubles as a Hunter Aptitude Test with which if said student fails they may seek employment in the Standard Hunter Corps of Vale.
Graduation: While each class at Beacon may start with 100 members, it is unheard of that an entire class will graduate with the full original roster. Of those hundred, it is expected that at most only 50% of the class will go on to graduate from Beacon as part of the Elite Hunter Corps of Remnant. Though that is not to say only 50 students will pass every year, there are contingencies in place to ensure sufficient numbers graduate to replace losses in the Elite Corps itself.
Graduation requirements at all Academies depend solely upon what is known as The Trial and is standardized across all of Remnant. The Trial requires teams of seniors to fulfill a minimum quota of missions with an imposed time limit of one year barring casualty replacement seasoning. The reason for this is that seniors are in essence emulating the deployment tempo of Elite Hunters and seniors should be no different in ability than even the lowest ranked Elites.
As a side note, students are encouraged to take elective classes that will earn them additional titles in a degree program rather than take the bare minimum and graduate as an 'Elite Hunter of the Arts'
Graduating from an Academy provides these benefits to Alumnus.
Casualty Replacement: It goes without saying that it is expected that students will die during their tenure at Beacon. Among freshmen who have the second lowest casualty rate be it from washing out, death, or crippling injury, it is relatively simple to procure a dozen or so new students from the ready pool of blooded hunters from the Standard Corps. The upper years are different story however.
Sophomores are already expected to be at the level of a Standard Veteran Huntsmen with four to five years of service. Casualties here are actually the most difficult to replace of all the years due to the nature of their position. At times prodigiously skilled hunters from the Standard Corps will be chosen to replace losses. At others, promising, but still lacking or seriously wounded third years may be held back to act as in school replacements. Some first years may even show such talent that they may be offered to be 'bumped' up a year upon completion of a 'Competency Examination'.
Juniors have the highest survival rate among all the years due to this being the seasoning period of their education. While losses do occur as always, their replacements come from surviving seniors who failed to make the 'cut' for one reason or another and are sent back for another period of seasoning.
Seniors have the single highest casualty rate of all those attending Beacon and for good reason to be expanded upon later. The Cut as referenced earlier is the process of replacement and the only process Seniors of all Academies utilize. If Senior teams cannot be made whole in house, than they will be sent to other Academies requiring Senior level students or students from those locations will be sent to Beacon itself for a single month of seasoning before these ad hoc teams will once more be sent onto graduation assignments.
Tuition Fee: It takes a lot of money to teach Huntsmen and the fees at Beacon are not cheap. The majority of the funding Beacon receives is from the Valean government followed by Sponsors and Donations across the world. This is a major political point between the four academies and events such as the bi-yearly Vytal Festival heavily affect how much funding is received year to year. Of course given students come from all walks of life there are multiple ways to fulfill Beacon's tuition requirements.
Standard Package: A student must be able to pay the difference in cost through missions taken while at Beacon Academy. The students will receive a small percentage of mission payments to act as a stipend with the rest going to cover the cost of their schooling.
Service Packages: Students choosing packages from this option will be seen as having provisionally provided Full Down Payment. This debt must be repaid by the student in either time in service as required or paid in full within a contracted amount of time.
Full Down Payment: Be it money, scholarships, donations, or sponsorship, post graduation a student has no debts nor duties to fulfill at Beacon and may immediately fulfill their obligation as Elite Huntsman as they will.
Education Focuses and Other Information *Current Year*:
Year 79 since the founding of Beacon
Freshmen: This year places a heavy emphasis on the theoretical followed by relatively limited practical exercises focused on the basics of what Hunters can expect to face as an Elite.
End of the Year Documentation:
Total Casualties/Critical Wounds/Dropouts: 19
Original Class Numbers: 88/100
Post Replacement Numbers: 100/100
Pass/Survival Rate*: 83%
*Beacon's total average pass/survival rate of Original Class*
Sophomore: The second year sees theoreticals beginning to break even with practical lessons as students are 'solo' team missions paired off with huntsmen from the Standard Corps.
End of the Year Documentation:
Total Casualties/Critical Wounds/Dropouts: 36
Original Class Numbers: 67/100
Post Replacement Numbers: 76/100
Pass/Survival Rate: 73%
Junior: It is in Junior year that prospective Elites truly begin to make a name for themselves and can be argued are Beacon's most valuable resource. Known as the so called Seasoning period, students are regularly sent out on various missions interspersed with high profile PR events to secure funding for the future of Beacon. Theoretical lessons are somewhat lessened in scope so that teams may focus on preparing for their final year.
End of the Year Documentation:
Total Casualties/Critical Wounds/Dropouts: 9
Original Class Numbers: 62/100
Post Replacement Numbers: 84/100
Pass/Survival Rate: 87%
Seniors: On top of having to complete The Trial, seniors are expected to do so while finishing their final theoretical requirements further simulating the high stress environment that Elites are known to work in. This is the capstone year for all Beacon students and the attrition rate is reflected in the numbers.
End of the Year Documentation:
Total Casualties/Critical Wounds/Dropouts: 37
Original Class Numbers: 22/100
Numbers Lost Through Cutting: 7

Graduating from an Academy provides these benefits to Alumnus.
- Guaranteed membership into the Elite Hunter Corps of Remnant without necessary service time in the Standard Corps of a Kingdom.
- Government backing of all the Kingdoms and guaranteed sponsorship from the Schnee Dust Company or its equivalents.
- Immediate entry available to the Knight Orders of Remnant.
- Bypasses multiple time in service restrictions for high level Commissioned Officer positions in the various militaries and police forces of Remnant.
- The full benefits package of ten years time in service of a Standard Huntsman as well as an immediate upgrade into the Elite Huntsman package.
- Full citizenship of all Remnant's Kingdoms.
