Case Study: Project Starfish achieves efficient, customized onboarding and cost savings with Workplace from Meta

Tailor onboarding through learning groups

Project Starfish, an MIT startup exchange that creates workforce opportunities for people with disabilities and diverse backgrounds, needed a way to accelerate and personalize trainee onboarding while reliably measuring learning outcomes. Implementing a separate LMS was too costly and would fragment communication, so they built a private learning group using Workplace from Meta to centralize training and tailor onboarding.

Using Workplace from Meta, Project Starfish posted skill‑based videos, tagged trainees for customized coaching, and used comments to track engagement and comprehension. The solution avoided the expense of a separate LMS, streamlined onboarding with minimal intervention, improved the ability to measure progress, and made training content permanently accessible for all new trainees.
