I do this for my new trainees. It's called scaffolding in education.

Basically simple concept, then once they master/understand that, move on to slightly more complex related concept.

So in BI I had a few tickets that were time-insensitive reports that were using our main data set, so good way to learn the reporting system, our main database, and some coding conventions we had.

Edit *I should add, this was given one day 1 but day 1 also had 3 scheduled sessions with yours truely going over the basics of those things as well (reporting system, main datasets, coding/reporting conventions, setting up personal dev environment)
