First Day Info

Before Reporting To Work

Before reporting to work, first work term students are strongly encouraged to view the "Fundamentals of Telecommunications and Data Communications" course offered on the ADTRAN web site. To access go to www.adtran.com and select Training from the top menu. Under "Browse our Entire Training Schedule", you can view a list of all courses available on-line. To register for a class, select "Add" and then complete the registration.

All students are encouraged to e-mail their assigned supervisor and mentor before reporting to work and request the names of courses that might be of assistance to them in their work term. Forward this link and ask for suggestions. Take as many of the suggested courses, if possible, before reporting to work. Directions for registering are noted in the above paragraph.

If you are registering for a course (to be taken at ADTRAN's expense) before reporting to work, please review our tuition information. If the class interferes with the regular work week, students must seek approval from their supervisor.
