The Word – 10/2/2015

Welcome to the new format of The Word. We will be posting a lot more information to this website over the next couple of months so we want to get you used to using it!

Schedule Credits – Instructors

I’m sure many of you have checked out the new Instructor Schedule Submission and seen the new credits system we are using. We have tweaked the values a little this week to make it even easier to create a schedule that works for us and for you. So if you’ve held off submitting because you fell short of the requirement, check again! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns about this process or your availability through the season.

Re-Applying Process – All positions

As I write this we are one person away from Lauren’s hiring target for the week! Oh, and if we hit the target she has promised to bring cake to orientation… To reapply please go here and select your position (instructors should use “Returning Instructor”). You will need to create a new profile as we have moved off the old job system. Once you have selected a job ignore the “Log back in” link in the corner and instead click on the big black button.

Early Level 1 Exam

We will be offering an early level 1 exam for those who didn’t get to take it last season, or for those who want to reinstate their certs. The exams will be pre-Christmas and most likely in December, so stay tuned for more information.

Orientation dates next week

Orientation details will be coming next week. Dates are not finalized yet.

Lead and Trainer applications

Thanks to those folks who have applied to be leads or trainers. We just wanted to let you know that selecting those positions will not happen for a little while yet as we will have limited spots. Remember that while certification is important it is not the only criteria we will be basing our decisions on, so don’t feel that you have to be a level 3 to express interest.

PSIA-AASI Event calendar is up

PSIA-NW have posted their event calendar so you can plan your events and ed credits. Next up is Fall Seminar and there’s an early season CS1 right here at Stevens the weekend of Dec-12th.

Background checks and Job Offers

Just a heads up that a lot of you have job offers and/or background checks sitting in your inbox! Job offers will be from us, background check will be from a company called TalentWise – you might want to check you junk mail for that one
