Trainer FAQs

How do I get information on using Zoom with BAA for Virtual Trainings?

If you need more information on virtual training using Zoom, contact your Workforce Development specialist or BAA staff that you were hired by.

How do I find out the logistics connected to my work? (training location, specific times, etc.) 

Several weeks before your set delivery date, you will receive either a Confirmation Letter (CL) or Service Agreement (SA) that will spell out some of the specifics of your contracted work.

When there is a training event, the training title, location, date and time-frame of the upcoming training will be included on the CL. Additionally, one-week prior to any classroom training a Training Assistant (TA) will reach out to confirm logistics for the training event. The TA will be equipped to answer most questions about the logistics surrounding the training. 

If you are providing services by the hour (coaching, facilitation, curriculum development etc.), you will receive a service agreement. The only logistics information that is included on the service agreement might be due dates for a tangible product, like curriculum. SAs are usually for a date range (Jan 1. 2019-Jan 31, 2019) and so they will not likely specify location and dates. Those logistics must be coordinated with the Workforce Development Specialist (WDS) that has hired you to do the work. It is important that you reach out with any questions regarding logistics as soon as you have received your service agreement, should you have them.  The WDS can also help you liaise with the County, should you need to be in communication about your contracted work.
