C Area,
We've been tasked with getting trainees that have certifications recertified before 120 days from the last day they worked a position.
Schedule wise we have agreed to have no more than 2 trainees on a shift at one time. Due to that and a lack of supe coverage it will take us 2 rotations to complete (10 days).
The plan is to get an over the shoulder recertification from any C or D Area supe, and 8 hours of currency for the month. Once the trainee has their 8 hours they will be expected to go back on administrative leave until further notice. Basically no need to stay the full 5 days.

We made an effort to put trainees with their trainers or someone they've trained with in the past. But, the reality is the driving force behind the schedule is the 120 day requirement and who had to be recertified first. Since there are 3 trainees in total on Crew 3 dayshift, the plan is to have 2 trainees on 7-12, they will get their currency by the end of shift on 7-14 then back on administrative leave until further notice, after that a 3rd trainee will come in on 7-15 to get refertified and current before the end of that rotation. This way we'll have no more than 2 trainees on a shift at one time.
All shifts in the above link are NF (No Flex) shifts, but for the official schedule please refer to webscheduler.
For the trainees that haven't been in the building in awhile I will be calling you directly over the next few days to cover some of the changes at work including
The schedule
Getting a parking pass
How and where to get your own chair for the shift
Where to find hand sanitizer, gloves, disinfecting wipes, masks etc
As always please feel free to give me a call if there are any questions or concerns
