| About Students |
Northern Illinois University's Business in Action course provides students with an opportunity to add real value to a real organization through carefully designed student consulting projects that span across various topics and academic disciplines. Students will be split into teams of 4-5 so they can work to support each other throughout the project process. There are four different project scopes for the students to choose from and work on.

| Project Details | |
|---|---|
| Project Title | Develop A School District’s Onboarding Program For New Hires |
| Project Synopsis |
What is the challenge or opportunity you are trying to address within your organization?
The Ashton-Franklin Center School District is in need of your support in developing an employee onboarding program to be launched August 2022. The district is looking to build an efficient and comprehensive framework, process, and set tools for carrying out the new employee induction process.
Some suggested activities include:
Review of existing documents and processes currently being used.
Research on best practices for onboarding new hires taking into account different training target groups, instructional and licensed staff as well as non-instructional staff such as those working in operations and facilities.
Identification of legal requirements for onboarding.
Curation and development of prototype job aids, road maps, organizational charts, and other tools that facilitate new hire orientation and job success.
A successful project would result in a prototype Onboarding Playbook, that includes 1) step-by-step instructions for orienting staff depending on their employee classification (e.g. licensed, instructional, operational staff), 2) collection of sample job aids, building maps, organizational charts, sample forms, etc. that should be supplied to new hires to facilitate orientation and successful transition into work roles.
What are some of the activities or action items you think will need to be taken to achieve your desired results? What would make this project a success for your organization? What measurable results are you looking to accomplish? |
