orientation programs
Initial workplace training
Orientation programs are structured introductions for newcomers to an organization, institution, or role.
Universities hold orientation for incoming students, workplaces for new employees.
The programs typically cover practical matters—policies, resources, expectations—while helping participants acclimate socially: Freshman orientation runs the week before classes start.
The goal is reducing the confusion and anxiety of unfamiliar environments.
