Pre-Employment Resources
Welcome New Employees and Interns!
To expedite your first day proceedings, the IT staff has bundled resources to familiarize you with some of our applications and processes. Please review these prior to your first day. The 'Appropriate Use of IT Systems Policy' is listed first. Please read it in its entirety, and then sign and date the corresponding 'Appendix A: WDNC’s Appropriate Use Agreement.' The first ELM we recommend you view is, 'Logging Into a Court Issued Computer' before completing the other training tutorials. Upon your arrival to the court, a member of the IT staff will meet with you to complete your training, answer any IT related questions, and gather any signed paperwork.
