Practical
Open to anyone, any time
Nothing to sign up for. Open the modules and start — you do not need a login, and you do not need to be hired yet.
The whole orientation is here — public, no password, no account, no waiting on us to set anything up. Watch it before you are hired if you want to know what the work involves, and come back to any module later.
Your employer also orients you on their own home and preferences, which no video can teach. That conversation is described here, so you know what to expect.
