How long is UPS orientation?

• You wear the right footwear. Shoes should have sturdy uppers made of leather or similar protective material, good support, and non-slip soles. Do not wear tennis shoes/sneakers, loafers, sandals, or anything else that does not provide support and protection.

• Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and social security card, birth certificate, Native American tribal document, U.S citizen ID card, or identification card for resident citizen in the United States

• You should dress in layers. No loose-fitting clothing that might get caught in mechanical equipment

• No shirts, hats, or jackets with offensive themes, images, or logos

• No loose or long jewelry (it is better to leave all jewelry at home)

• Water and snacks

After the initial orientation, UPS often holds follow-up sessions for new hires to familiarize themselves with their specific roles and duties over the following few days. The duration of these additional sessions can vary depending on the position, but they typically last for a few hours each day. It is important to note that your time at UPS orientation does not end after the first day, but extends into the first few days of your employment as you continue to learn about your new role.

The comprehensive orientation process ensures that every UPS employee is well-equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to perform their jobs safely and effectively. Whether you're working in a warehouse, driving a delivery truck, or managing logistics, UPS takes great care to ensure that you're prepared for whatever your job entails.

While the official orientation might last for a few days, your learning and training process will continue throughout your tenure at UPS. To stay current with procedures and safety measures, employees are encouraged to participate in ongoing training sessions offered by the company.
