Onboarding at TCNJ is the process through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge and behaviors to become effective and successful members of the campus community. The Onboarding process is much more than an orientation program and consists of six to twelve months of information sharing, training, mentoring, and coaching throughout the employee’s transition.
