👋 Hi, Tarek!

Welcome to Transport Canada’s Rail Safety team. We're glad you're are joining us!

I've put together this onboarding plan to help you get up to speed in your new role as a summer student on the Rail Occurrence Follow-up (ROF) team. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 🙂

- Will and Maggie

🧭 Guiding thoughts

  • Take time to learn. Don't get sucked into the minutia of decision-making or project involvement too early - there will be plenty of time for that later. In your first 30 days, try to focus on getting comfortable and learning how things work.

  • Invest in relationships. By day 60, you'll be in execution mode. In your first two months, spend as much time as you can getting to know people and forming relationships.

  • Don't be afraid to ask. No one expects you to know how things at work right away. Take advantage of that and ask for help when you need it.
