 Spring 2022 Training dates have been adjusted to coincide with 13/13 tours starting March 27 (PP7).

 Call Cottrell or Besmer if you have questions!




 All jumpers will need to certify their end of year performance appraisal after it's been completed with their supervisor. Please do this before you are laid off, as you will lose access to the Connect HR dashboard. Call Cottrell or Besmer with questions!
