For applicants who are still attending high school, we provide the option of virtual orientation. After a discussion with your recruiter, we would need to obtain a copy of your class schedule. Virtual orientation is to be completed at home during your first week of employment by Wednesday after your hire date with CMH. There is no set time to log in for your orientation, and further information will be provided by your recruiter. Orientation packets are to be turned in to Human Resources, at which time you will receive your badge, parking pass and other first-day items.
