Student Orientation & Onboarding

All new employees must go through an onboarding process. The process includes completing required paperwork and training, and in most cases, attending orientation.

In accordance with the WWU-WAWU CBA, ESEs are required to attend one session of the New Student Employee Orientation. To meet this requirement, student employee orientation can be with the individual department or with Human Resources (HR). HR hosts regularly scheduled new-hire orientations that include break-out sessions with WAWU representatives:
