New Missionary Orientation
New missionaries will initially be contacted by the Training Lead, who will ensure they have the proper computer setup for the lessons. They will participate in a practice Webex meeting before the first class and learn how the training will proceed. Additionally, they will be assigned a mentor for their training period.

Training Sources
New missionaries will be given a minimum of three weeks training as described in the next section. In addition, they are also free and encouraged to visit and review the sources listed above.

Each week in the Thursday staff meeting, time is set aside for training. These sessions are recorded and available for review.

Training Schedule
The table below is a standard training schedule for training new missionaries. Training for individual months (modified for holidays or other factors)--detailed by daily lessons--is shown under the Yammer Wiki Support Missionary Instructors and Members Group uploaded files. The schedules can be accessed only by members of the Wiki Missionary Yammer group.

 * While mentoring, mentors should be familiar to the Mentoring Mission Statement and Guidelines, which includes a list of skills that they should ensure new missionaries have after training.
