Construction Industry Training Network (CITN)

 Description

Most onboarding in the trades looks like this: hand them a hard hat, point them at the crew, and hope they figure it out. The HR forms get signed, the safety video gets watched, and by Friday you're not sure if they're going to come back Monday. That's not onboarding, that's a first impression you can't take back.

The first 90 days are when new hires decide whether they made the right call joining your company. What you do and don't do in that window sets the tone for everything that follows. A structured, intentional onboarding experience tells a new person: we thought about you before you got here. That alone puts you ahead of most employers in the trades.

You spent time and money finding the right person. Onboarding is where you protect that investment. A 12-week plan doesn't just help them settle in — it shows them exactly what success looks like and gives them every reason to stick around.

What the workshop covers:

• How to build a 12-week onboarding action plan that turns a 3-month probation into a structured path to success
• The tools and reference materials that help new hires get up to speed faster and feel confident from day one
• How to create a first impression that signals culture, expectations, and belonging before the HR forms are even signed

What participants walk away with:

• A practical onboarding framework and action plan template they can implement immediately
• Reference tools and check-in structures that keep new hires on track through the full 12 weeks
• The understanding that great onboarding isn't just paperwork and videos, it's the foundation of a team that stays
