Streamlined Employee Orientation: How CT State Created A Connected, Scalable Onboarding Experience

CASE STUDY

Following the large-scale merger of 12 independent community colleges, Connecticut State Community College required an agile and scalable solution to support over 2,000 part-time faculty members with consistent onboarding and professional development. 

Go2Onboarding provided the ideal platform, offering centralized content delivery alongside the flexibility to customize learning experiences for diverse faculty needs.

Leveraging Go2Onboarding's intuitive interface and robust training library, Connecticut State launched a Faculty and Staff Online Institute with nine curated learning paths. These pathways supported personalized onboarding journeys, empowering faculty to engage with content relevant to their roles, timelines, and development goals.

Go2Onboarding’s centralized resource hub ensured easy content management and real-time updates across all 12 campuses, helping institutions align policies, share resources, and streamline access to information. This unified approach not only enhanced consistency and compliance but also strengthened institutional connection, building a shared sense of community and purpose among faculty at the newly merged campuses.

By integrating both onboarding and professional development in a single platform, Connecticut State created a dynamic, responsive system that supports faculty engagement, fosters long-term growth, and delivers on the promise of accessible, high-impact training at scale.

Because of our partnership with Innovative Educators, we have the ability to take our programming and have elements of it customized and automated. We are able to combine learning pathways around areas of learning that faculty have identified they want to prioritize like DEI.
