LinkedTrust Onboarding

Welcome! This repo is your onboarding workspace. You'll practice real skills, apply team principles, and earn verifiable attestations for your work.

core team members: this is the Onboarding repo for interns ; here is the onboarding project for planning

How This Works

1. Choose your track: General (non-technical) or Developer
2. Read the required materials (linked in your track)
3. Create issues for yourself using the numbered templates in the Issues tab
4. Complete tasks by following the clues and figuring things out
5. Get peer reviews - teammates will review your work
6. Earn attestations - published certificates on LinkedTrust

Key Principles

This onboarding teaches you to:

• Hunt, don't wait - use clues to figure things out
• Work in public - share early, seek critique
• Leave breadcrumbs - document for the next person
• Own your work - if you promise it, deliver it or communicate early
• Review critically, and seek critical review - "looks good" isn't helpful

Quick Start

1. Go to the Issues tab
2. Click "New Issue"
3. Choose your first task template (start with [001] or [101] depending on your track)
4. Fill it out and assign it to yourself
5. Complete the task
6. Comment on the issue with your evidence
7. Close it when done

Tracks

General Track

For marketing, relations, community, operations roles. Core Tasks: 001-009

Developer Track

For engineering and technical roles. Core Tasks: 001-009, 101-105

Getting Help

• Check pinned messages in relevant Slack channels
• Read the essays - most answers are there
• Ask in public channels - use what you learn in task [007]
• Look at completed tasks by other interns for examples

What "Done" Looks Like

Onboarding is complete when:

• ✅ All core tasks for your track finished
• ✅ At least 2 peer reviews received on your work
• ✅ At least 1 real contribution to a team project
• ✅ Published certificate on linkedtrust.us
• ✅ Lead approves completion

Then you'll receive a LinkedTrust attestation for "Completed LinkedTrust Onboarding Program."

Philosophy

We're teaching you to be quick, professional, and autonomous. You'll get:

• Goals (what to accomplish)
• Clues (where to look)
• Not step-by-step instructions

Figure things out. Ask good questions. Leave things better than you found them.
