Complete Leadership Training (required)

1 week, asynchronous • about 1 hour/day

Leadership Training gives everyone the same foundation before role-specific onboarding begins.

Training details
  • Fully asynchronous
  • Complete within 1 week
  • ~5 modules
  • ~1 hour/day
What you’ll cover
  • PHS mission, structure, and impact
  • Remote workflows + communication norms

Role kickoff + checklist (after training)

This is when your role-specific onboarding begins.

Once training is complete, you’ll meet with your onboarder and supervisor to review expectations and confirm everything is set up.

  • Meet your onboarder + direct supervisor
  • Get a role-specific checklist
  • Confirm tools, access, and where your work lives
  • Start with small, supported tasks

Ramp plan + ongoing support

A week-by-week plan so you feel steady, confident, and supported.

You’ll get a ramp plan that builds gradually. We’ll check in consistently so you’re never stuck silently.

Our goal
  • Clear expectations + communication
  • Structured, but flexible
  • Supportive, not overwhelming
  • Focused on long-term growth + impact

If you ever feel unsure, ask early — we’re here to help.

I can’t find my acceptance email.

Check spam/junk and search for [email protected].

I’m busy / traveling this week.

That’s okay — let your supervisor/onboarder know ASAP so we can adjust your ramp plan.
