Career Launch

A shared onboarding portal that replaces per-person spreadsheet trackers with one system hires, mentors and managers all work in, from day one through week twelve.

The problem

New-hire programs often live in a separate Excel tracker per person. Mentors and managers can't see progress across their people, the program content drifts between copies, and nothing enforces the program's own rules.

Approach

• Structured programs with phases, tasks, reading lists, certifications and profile questions, including variants for full-time and part-time hours.
• Role-aware views: hires see their plan, mentors and managers see the people they're responsible for, plus a review queue and check-ins.
• Rules are built in. For example, work that needs review can't be marked Done by the hire.
• New programs need no code: build or copy one in the program builder, or fill in an Excel template and upload it. The portal lists anything to fix before creating it.
• Editing a program never destroys a hire's work. Items someone has already touched are hidden, not deleted.
• One-click export of everyone's records into a single workbook.

Build notes

• Runs locally on SQLite, or on Postgres (Supabase) with row-level security switched on for every table.
• Demo mode ships with invented people and sample work, so a walkthrough never hits a dead link.
• Tests render every page as every person and check the program rules.

What's next

• Single sign-on in place of the demo sign-in
• Generalize the program content so it can be stood up for other organizations
