ONE Extension

The Basics

New Hire Survey - ALL new hires should complete this survey.

O.N.E. Extension is the onboarding program for Ohio State University Extension. We provide a cohort-based model to welcome you to the organization, connect you to a network of peers, mentors, and leadership, and help you excel in your position. Our goals are to:

  • Provide a common experience for all Extension employees to have the knowledge and resources needed to engage and succeed within the organization
  • Instill a culture of learning, collaboration, and community engagement
  • Establish connections and relationships with a cohort of peers, potential mentors/guides, and Extension Administration
  • Clarify job roles, responsibilities and expectations, and applicable policies and procedures
  • Model best practices and effective techniques for teaching, communication, and work performance

For ALL new hires, complete the New Hire Survey at go.osu.edu/newhiresurvey. This will include registration for the ONE Extension program (onboarding) and the MINE Program (mentoring)
