Welcome to Extension!

 

This is a flexible online onboarding program exclusively for you - new Extension faculty and staff.

The goals of this site are to...

  • Compliment other onboarding activities to ensure that you have the resources to be successful in your role
  • Expose you to Extension’s identity and culture
  • Provide clarity and consistency across Extension for the new employee experience
  • Give new employees a short-term "one stop shop" until you are familiar with where to find information in the organization

The resources here include several modules that have written information, videos, and suggested activities uniquely designed for Extension employees. This program is flexible: you may skip modules that are not relevant to you, and you may complete them in any order. We try not to duplicate what is found on the main University of Minnesota New Employees site, so we do not cover benefits and other U-wide new employee topics here.

On this site you will find a checklist of suggested onboarding tasks. Ideally, this list is curated and provided to you by your supervisor, but it is provided here just in case.

Let's get started. Click on the Module link across the top to start exploring.
