Project Goal:

EmpowHERto is looking to empower our volunteers and employees with an enhanced training program that provides them with the tools they need to succeed. By developing a structured, accessible online onboarding and training system, we aim to streamline the onboarding process and ensure every new team member feels equipped and informed about our mission and tools.

Specifically, we’d like this project to include two main components:

1. Video Tutorials for Monday.com – Practical video guides that demonstrate how to use Monday.com for daily tasks.
2. Mini-Course on EmpowHERto – An interactive course that educates new team members on EmpowHERto’s mission, programs, values, and culture.

Tasks and Steps for Students:

To achieve these goals, students will complete the following tasks:

Analyze the Current Training and Onboarding Process

• Review our current onboarding resources and identify key areas where training is needed for both employees and volunteers.
• Outline what essential information and tools new employees need to succeed at EmpowHERto.

Develop Training Modules and Structure

• Design a structure for the training program, dividing it into segments or modules (e.g., Introduction to EmpowHERto, Using Monday.com, Understanding Our Programs and Culture).
• Define content for each module, keeping it concise and user-friendly.

Research Platforms for Onboarding Automation

• Explore different e-learning and course platforms that could host our training modules (e.g., Thinkific, Moodle, or other cost-effective options).
• Provide recommendations on which platforms would best suit our training needs, budget, and ease of use for volunteers and employees.

Create Video Tutorials and Course Content

• Produce video tutorials for key tools like Monday.com, showing how to complete common tasks.
• Develop content for an EmpowHERto course that provides an overview of our organization’s mission, core programs, workplace culture, and values.

Create a Culture and Values Segment

• Include a specific module on EmpowHERto’s values and workplace culture, ensuring new team members understand and align with our mission.

Final Deliverables:

Students should provide:

1. A report detailing their research, proposed training structure, and recommendations on platforms to use for automation.
2. Draft content for each training module (e.g., Monday.com tutorial outlines, EmpowHERto organization overview).
3. Video tutorials for Monday.com and/or other essential tools.
4. A 30-minute presentation summarizing the project, their findings, and proposed training framework.
