Purpose

The New Hires Institue (NHI) is a year-long program that introduces new contract employees to the City College culture, fosters, group connection, and provides timely information to help new employees feel comfortable and successful in their new role. NHI is includes support for new faculty, classified professionals, supervisors, managers, and administrators.

  2. Develop positive and collegial relationships with members of the cohort and college at-large. 
  3. Increase self-efficacy by knowing how to leverage employee resources and relationships.  

Program Description

The NHI program consists of ten (10) sessions over the course of two semesters. New employees are invited to join their cohort in either the Fall or Spring semesters. 

  • NHI typically meets on the third Friday of the month in the Elva Salinas Professional Learning Center (room R-109)
  • Sessions run from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM and have either lunch or refreshments provided for participants
  • All sessions are shared via an Outlook invite with reminders sent out the week of each event
