Onboarding

TTS Onboarding

TTS Talent has their own onboarding checklist in Google Drive that they share with new employees. The Login.gov tab on that document has one item, a link to this page in our handbook.

Login.gov team onboarding documents

Each Login.gov team has their own personalized GDoc/Onboarding Template / Checklist, you’ll get one of these documents when you start at Login.gov.

For all new Login.gov team members to complete themselves

  • Familiarize yourself with the Login.gov Handbook
  • Watch a Login.gov authentication overview
  • Watch a Login.gov identity verification overview
  • Watch a Login.gov security overview
  • Review the Login.gov org chart
  • Review the Login.gov Design System
  • Complete GSA OLU IT Security Awareness Training, including accepting the GSA IT Rules of Behavior, which is required before we can give you access to any Login.gov systems.
