New Hire Subs

After you submit your substitute application, our Human Resources team will review it. If your application is approved, HR will contact you by email with instructions for the next steps, including how to register for a group onboarding session.

You’ll be able to choose from several pre-scheduled onboarding dates. These sessions are held in a group format, and once approved, you may sign up for any available session that fits your schedule.

On this page, you’ll find all the forms and instructions needed to complete your new hire process.

Be sure to follow each step carefully—and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions along the way. We’re excited to have you on board!
