Overview

In F22, Sahil Kale noticed recent feedback for the past 2-3 terms for interns was heavy around a lack of task definition and getting onboarded. In order to address this, an initiative was started with endorsement from Jinghao Lei and Aidan Bowers (Deactivated) to create startup guides to aid new co-ops with ramping up. This document can serve as the template for the startup guide while removing this section.

Prior to F22 we have had co-ops it’s just their startup guides weren’t formally tracked here in confluence.

Contents of the startup guide

The startup guide must contain:

• Contact information

• Some background information on WARG

  • Including the broader context of co-op work (i.e. the reason for the project)

• Onboarding procedure

  • Including required administrative steps (e.g. required training, safety)

• Expectations beyond onboarding

  • Mandatory meetings and flight tests

  • What does success look like

Template

• Kind of a template: [term] Startup Guide - [co-op student name]

• Or just update/modify an existing one from Startup Guides for Co-op Students
