In high-risk industries such as construction, utilities, and field services, onboarding isn’t just inductions and paperwork. It’s your first line of defence when it comes to safety, compliance, and productivity. But too often, the process is slow, disjointed, and risky.
New starters arrive unsure of what to do next. Managers chase spreadsheets and knowledge as to what the new starters know. Key steps get missed. And when compliance slips, the consequences aren’t just admin delays, they’re legal failures, client failures, delays to get on site, or worse.
What if you could treat onboarding as a single, structured journey—one that scales, is repeatable, and makes compliance automatic?
HSI Skillko Learning Paths help achieve that.
Onboarding Challenges Today
Most onboarding systems aren’t built for high-risk industries. They rely on a patchwork of tools, one platform for eLearning, another for document uploads, another for signing off documents, another for uploading on the job operations, emails for reminders, and spreadsheets for tracking.
That creates problems like:
- Delays getting workers site-ready
- Missed or forgotten compliance steps
- Confused new starters
- Overworked HSEQ, Operations and admin teams
In fast-paced environments, you can’t afford onboarding to be the holdup.
One Structured Path. Everything in One Place.
Learning Paths give you a single, automated process. All your requirements, from company induction to task-specific certifications, is mapped out in a clear order, based on role.
Each path brings together:
- Inductions, values, and safety documents such as policies or safety statements
- Job role, client, project, country &/or business unit onboarding requirements
eLearning modules aligned with
- Training uploads & verification steps
- Onsite evidence uploads
It’s all sequenced, scheduled, and assigned automatically. No back-and-forth. No guessing.
Built From the Skills Data You Already Use
If you’ve already created job profiles or a training matrix, you’re ready. HSI Skillko uses that data to build each Learning Path with just one click.
Bringing in new cable jointers or field engineers? The system maps their full journey based on your defined role requirements.
And when certs or licenses are due for renewal in 3 or 5 years, HSI Skillko can reassign training automatically.
Smarter Scheduling, Safer Starts
You set the timeline, say 12 or 16 weeks, and HSI Skillko spaces the tasks out to make it manageable.
Need site safety done in week one? No problem. Want more technical modules completed later? Easy. You can enforce “complete in order” rules or give flexibility where needed.
It’s structured, predictable, and audit-ready from day one.
Progress Tracking for Everyone 
New starters can see exactly what they need to do and when on our mobile or web app. They get automatic reminders to keep them on track.
Managers get live dashboards showing who’s completed what, who’s overdue, and who’s ready to go. No chasing. No spreadsheets.
Use Case: Onboarding 50 Field Engineers
A company hires 50 field engineers in a new region. Their onboarding path includes:
Here’s how it works with HSI Skillko Learning Paths:
- The admin auto-creates a template path from the “Field Engineer” role’s, client, region & project skills matrix.
- They set it over 16 weeks, with key items spaced out.
- New hires are instantly assigned, notifications turned on.
- Managers can see each engineer’s status (complete, on track, at risk) in real time.
- When a related repeat requirement (e.g. a certification renewal in 3 or 5 years)
comes due, the same path framework can be re-used or regenerated.
This isn’t onboarding + compliance — it’s onboarding through compliance.
