Good question. You will most likely not be taught specific position in depth. You will be taught the rules and some basic mechanics. During the season you will likely work many different positions. My advice to you is when you show up, let the others know that you are new. There is an unwritten rule that the position assignments are decided by seniority. If you work with some good guys, they will try to make you comfortable by asking you where you want to work. Try and work as many different positions as possible. Take any criticism from fellow officials constructively. If you do, you'll learn quickly and feel more confident in all the postitions. Good luck.
