First of all welcome.
Not sure how your local association trains and brings on new members but what I say is most important is learning the rules and their application. The Redding book is excellent for help with meeting that goal.
As for determining what position to observe, the answer is all of them but the referee. While some will disagree, the position least likely you will work starting out is the referee and the referee position does not encounter as much action as the other positions. I like to see most officials start on the wing where you quickly learn pre-snap mechanics and rules, forward progress and spotting the ball, when a down ends, etc.
You should listen to the decisions the referee makes and ask questions on why things were done the way they were done.
