WiseNxt pitch

WiseNxt pitch is a pitch that The Economic Group (hereinafter, #The Pitcher) utilizes in order to attract partners (hereinafter, #Our Partners) in Kenya and around the world into development, administering, and marketing of smooth school-to-work transitions under #The Pitcher's #WiseNxt offerings.

CNMCyber Team (hereinafter, #We), which is a group of #The Pitcher's volunteers, oversees the development on #The Pitcher's side, as well as administers #The practice we envision and markets #Our offerings on behalf of #The Pitcher.

In a nutshell

This section covers (a) #30-second pitch, (b) our top-level objectives, which #We call #Bridging the gaps, (c) #Our aspirations or why #We do what #We do, (d) #Our commitments to #The Students, (e) #Our DevOps or how #We do what #We do, (f) #Our limitations, (g) #Our business needs, and (h) #Our story or where #We are coming from and where #We are heading to.

30-second pitch

We at WiseNxt.com get school students of today ready for jobs of tomorrow. To explore career options and see what works for young people best, we place each of them in job-alike practice. To discover the ideal match, students will touch hundreds of tasks and occupations. And, of course, that work experience features artificial intelligence or AI and other information technologies. The future of work is AI -- join us today at WiseNxt.com/parents

Bridging the gaps

For the purposes of this wikipage, Bridging the gaps refers to top-level objectives for #Our offerings. They shall strive to achieve:

1. Identify #The Students' professional aptitudes, inclinations, and interests, as well as their strengths, weaknesses, and special features.
2. Determine #Target occupations or types of job that are feasible for each of #The Students to land and those industries that align with the aptitudes and interests of that singular student.
3. Help #The Students plan in "big-picture" details their career development and landing of meaningful, high-quality jobs. Notably, this help may include utilizing opportunities of #Our Partners.
4. Provide #The Students with introductory #Competency credentials, #Job-related networking, and #Work experience in order to set them up for success in their career development and, further, on the job market.

#Our commitments are to leading #The Students through the first three stages of #The Pipeline and preparing them for success beyond. To sum our top-level objectives up, #We develop #The services we build to make #Our aspirations real and are doing so within #Our limitations.

Our aspirations

For the purposes of this wikipage, our aspirations refer to why #We do what #We do. Our mission is to make school-to-work transition and youth entrance to the workforce as smooth as possible. Our aspirations include both:

• Connecting #The Students with those opportunities that exist on the market. #We understand that there are a number of services that can help with job interview preparation, job search, market presence, resume writing, social networking, and workforce development. #We are not willing to recreate anything that already exists; vice versa, #We work with #Our Partners to bring their offerings to #The Students.
• #Bridging the gaps between the employment needs of #The Students and current market offerings.

Because of #Our limitations, #We would like to limit our aspirations to our top-level objectives stated in the #Bridging the gaps section and, principally, will not consider entering into the secondary education, job training, and recruitment fields regardless of any circumstance.

Our commitments

With regards to #The Students, #We are committed to:

1. Guiding #The Students through the first three stages of #The Pipeline.
2. Preparing #The Students for building their #KSAs on the fourth stage and starting working full-time in the #Occupation that we together have identified as a #Target occupation on the fifth stage of #The Pipeline.

Our potential commitments to #Our Partners are listed in the #What we can commit to section of this wikipage.

Our DevOps

For the purposes of this wikipage, our DevOps refers to our approach to development or how #We do what #We do. This approach combines continuous development (Dev) and operations (Ops) of services behind #Our offerings. To advance #WiseNxt and other products, both Dev and Ops are run at the same time:

1. On the Dev side, #We produce, deliver, and deploy new products or modifications of existing products.
2. On the Ops side, #The Students use our work products to allow us to identify areas of further production, delivery, and deployment.

In addition, many employers value competency in DevOps by itself. To continuously provide #The Students with opportunities to have DevOps experience, #We are not going to ever complete #The services we build and finalize #The practice we envision. By design, they need to be under both continuous development (Dev) and operations (Ops) as long as #Our offerings exist.

Our limitations

#We are a group of volunteers who represent no business. Because of that, #We cannot provide #The Students with secondary and/or vocational education. Moreover, the educational market is saturated and there are many players on that field.

At the same time, #We are going to help "buyers" of education make wiser "purchase" decisions. Indeed, secondary and vocational education are expensive phenomena. Even if they don't cost money, they take time.

In addition, #We plan to match those of #The Students who need education, but cannot afford it based on their own resources, with those who may pay for it. #We are constantly looking for #Our Partners such as potential employers, education providers, and other stakeholders. To clarify, #We cannot be on the market of educational match-making; #We cannot offer that service to the general public. #We have to limit that type of help down to #The Students in good standings exclusively.

Our business needs

Based on #Our aspirations and #Our limitations, our business needs are:

• Building #Our offerings to bridge those gaps between education and employment that #Our Partners don't bridge.
• Partnering with secondary and/or vocational education providers and other organizations that provide services to juveniles and/or young adults to augment their services with our school-to-work transition ones.
• Partnering with providers of job interview preparation, job search, market presence, resume writing, social networking, and workforce development to bring their services to #The Students.

Our story

For the purposes of this wikipage, our story refers to this very description of where #We are coming from and where #We are heading to.

Since 2012, #The Pitcher generally and #We specifically have been developing services for those who are thinking about careers and looking for jobs to begin with. #Our offerings feature artificial intelligence, #Minimal training, and #Workplace sandboxes to deliver #Career-planning help, #Entry-level credentialing, #Job-related networking, #Vocational orientation, and #Work experience to #The Students.

To advance #Our offerings, #We would like to deploy the #DevOps model. #The Students would test the available products during one session and, based on that testing, new products would be developed until the next session.

Such development requires #The Students. Therefore, #We are now looking for #Our Partners, most likely, high schools or whatever else that can bring a sizeable number of #The Students from our #Primary audience.

To the partnership, #We bring #Course prototypes, #Training experience, #Workplace sandboxes, and #Limited financing. From #Our Partners, #We expect their #Expertise in youth work and #The Students to participate.

The delivery we anticipate

After-school program

As of now, #We anticipate that #WiseNxt Academy would be initially offered as extracurricular activities within some after-school program.

Career day

As of now, #We believe that #AINurtz Career Day is best delivered as career days in partnership with schools, related not-for-profits, or government organizations that deal with youth and youth employment. Under a #Career day, #We assume a 2-4 hour seminar, in which its participants touch hands-on several professions.

Our expertise in organizing such events is extensive; our first career day occurred in a Microsoft store in Tyson's Corner, Virginia on June 12th, 2012 -- https://www.meetup.com/techdc/photos/9029432/ . At that time, the seminars were called "IT Career Orientation Day". During those events, the participants were offered to code, design an app, administer a website, etc.

The product can be adapted to the target audience to include anything from nursing to AI architects.

Global extensions

As of now, #We would like to consider global extensions when the schools in which #WiseNxt Academy is initially launched can collaborate; for instance, members of one team can participate in #Professional groups from different countries such as Ukraine (where #WiseNxt was supposed to be introduced originally), Kenya (where #KenyaX is going to be introduced), and USA (where an "adult" version of #WiseNxt called #CNMCyber was developed at first place).

Summer camp

As of now, #We guess that some series between short #Career days and extended #After-school programs can be delivered as #Summer camps in partnership with schools or those not-for-profits that deal with school-age students.

What students we target

#We welcome #The Students of any walks of life until they believe that #The services we build can help them. Based on #Engagement estimates, #We predict that those who would like to identify their occupational calling and professional specialties should be benefited the most.

Primary audience

#We believe that our primary target audience is high-school students of pre-graduation classes, which means one or two grades before the graduation class. According to #Engagement estimates, the biggest percentage of potential participants are identifying their vocations at that age of their lives.

Secondary audiences

#We also believe that our secondary target audiences are:

• School students before the grade of the #Primary audience.
• Either school students in the graduation classes or school graduates before the age of majority.
• Any adult who is on the job market, plan to be there, and is eventually going to enter it.

What we already get

Course prototypes

#We have developed several course prototypes:

1. Initially, #We have built two courses, #WorldOpp Orientation and #EmployableU Concepts, as well as drafted the third one, #CNMCyber Bootcamps, in English and published them on CNM Cert.
2. Later, #We translated the courses into Russian, introduced them in Ukraine, and advanced all three courses to #MVPs. In total, they served 2,000+ learners.
3. Next, #We translated the courses into Ukrainian to use them in Ukrainian-language, original version of #WiseNxt.

Opplet

Opplet is our cloud-based technology behind #CNMCyber. Opplet.com is its official website, #Opplet Web is the network of websites within Opplet, and #Opplet.net is its user management system. Because of Opplet, #The Students get:

• System accounts that #Opplet.net assigns automatically.
• #Workplace sandboxes including #VMs with super-user permissions, as well as end-user, power-user, and/or administrator-level permissions for the common-access technology that they practice with.

As of October of 2023, about 67% of Opplet's #MVP is complete.

Training experience

#We started out in 2012 as a technical training team of one non-profit group in the Washington DC metro area. Since then, thousands of people participated in our IT training events. Most of training sessions were hands-on. Many of them, as well as their pictures, have been published at the CNMCyber Meetup group.

Specifically to school-age children, we organized several programs in partnership with Mott Community Center in Fairfax, as well as Microsoft stores in Arlington and Tyson's Corner, Virginia. We also accommodated some internships and learning programs. The longest lasted for an academic year by the end of which 12-year-old participants could develop webpages while coding with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, as well as mobile apps utilizing Android Studio.

Workplace sandboxes

Each of #The Students receives his or her technology sandbox that emulates one's workplace. The technology is added gradually, depending on the status of a particular student:

What we can commit to

For the purposes of this wikipage, What we can commit to refers to our potential commitments to #Our Partners. These commitments need to be negotiated. Our commitments to #The Students are non-negotiable; they are listed in the #Our commitments section.

Advisory committee

#We consider creating International Council for Vocational Orientation to build our #Expertise in youth work.

Fundraising assistance

#We can commit to participation in fundraising efforts that would target reasonable private, non-profit, and/or government donors.

Limited financing

Utilizing #The Pitcher's financing, #We can commit to covering some expenses. However, limitations of that financing require us to prioritize.

1. First and foremost, #We can commit to work on #Opplet until 100% of #MVP is complete.
2. Secondly, #We would favor covering costs of #Access to our cloud.
3. Thirdly, #We would strongly consider funding #Staffers on the ground; #The Pitcher may either transfer funds to #Our Partners or treating them as Careerprise contractors.
4. The rest of our budget can be used for endeavors related to, in alphabetical order, #Advisory committee, #Partner motivation, #Our offerings, and/or #Student motivation.

Tech support

#We can commit to creating and maintaining a technology help desk for troubleshooting and technical issue resolution.

What we need from partners

For the purpose of this wikipage, What we need from partners refers to what we need from #Our Partners. The #Our business needs section expresses our business needs.

#We are developing #The services we build, but the development goes slowly. The services are just partially available at the moment. To expedite the development, #We look for #Our Partners' help.

Access to our cloud

To access the technology, #The Students should have:

1. Internet connection. Through #Limited financing, #We may initiate partial or 100% #Reimbursements if #The Students access via their own devices and/or payments to #Our Partners to cover their expenses.
2. Computing devices such as smartphones or laptops. #We may provide #Fundraising assistance to raise resources for the devices, their storage, and transportation.
3. If the service is offered onsite, location such as a class or another room. #We can further pitch potential donors to make this room look like a real-world workspace with, for instance, office cubicles.

Staffers on the ground

#The Students should have at least a couple of staffers on the ground to:

• Act as #Our Mentors while helping #The Students to resolve learning challenges.
• Manage interpersonal conflicts, which may possibly occur.

The target number of the staffers should depend on the number of students.

The Students

For the purposes of this wikipage, the Students refer to the customers who are enrolled in #Our offerings. The #What students we target section of this wikipage describes our target audiences.

While having a solid number of the Students, #We will move the development into the DevOps model. #We will present what #We have to the learners and ask them to practice with what #We have, while new pieces get available.

Youth work expertise

Our expertise in working with youth in Kenya is limited. Our awareness of its cultural, economic, and legal environments is limited as well. So, #We will surely welcome someone from senior management position or executive-level retiree to the #Advisory committee. Particularly, that committee would discuss what needs to be created, where to source its developers, how to deploy, etc. #We can also treat that help as consulting.

What partners we look for

Key requirements

1. Legal entity -- business, government, or not-for-profit organization or individuals at the age of majority
2. Access to people who haven't identified their occupational objectives yet. If these people are minors and the partner is not their guardian, access to their legal guardians as well.

Partnership vs hiring

#Our Partners differ from Careerprise contractors. #The Pitcher offers monetary compensation for contractors' services, while hiring contractors. #Our Partners can be the contractors as well, but different agreements shall regulate these two roles.

What is to be negotiated

For the purposes of this wikipage, what is to be negotiated refers to those terms and conditions that #Our Partners and #The Pitcher are welcome to negotiate; legally-binding agreements should include the agreed terms and conditions.

Agreement text

For the purposes of this wikipage, an agreement text refers to contents of a legally-binding agreement between #The Pitcher and one of #Our Partners. Since every agreement is unique, those contents need to be created. If no better options are offered, a draft on the Educaship partner agreement‎ wikipage can be used to start with.

Among #What is to be negotiated items, agreement texts serve as capstone items. They shall include #Names of products, #Student motivation, and #Partner motivation.

Motivations

#We propose to negotiate both #Student motivation and #Partner motivation.

Products and names

Should the products listed in the #Our offerings section of this wikipage be alternated? Are the names the best? Together, we can possibly adjust the products and/or their names to a particular school, region, or anything else.

Student motivation

For the purposes of this wikipage, student motivation refers to motivation of #The Students beyond #Competency credentials and #Job offers.

Gifts

Such as smartphones, tablets, flashdrives, and laptops. What else? If nothing else, how? What procedures? Budgets?

Hospitality

Drinks, cookies, pizza, if reasonable and allowed. What else? If nothing else, how? What procedures? Budgets?

Reimbursements

For instance, the Internet access. What else? If nothing else, how? What procedures? Budgets?

Partner motivation

#We strongly believe that #The services we build, #The practice we envision, #The delivery we anticipate, and other #Student motivation would benefit #The Students, and, therefore, #Our Partners. Beyond those, #We would love to negotiate #Administrative fees, #Academic exchange, and #Mutual marketing.

Administrative fees

Some nominal fees for administrating. What else? If nothing else, how? What procedures? Budgets?

Academic exchange

If #Our Partners are going to visit Washington DC metro area, #We promise warm welcome and area tour! Although #The Pitcher doesn't consider funding trips and stays, #We can assure #Fundraising assistance in working on someone else's funding.

Marketing for partners

For the purposes of this wikipage, marketing for partners refers to our possible efforts to market services of #Our Partners. The ideas to start with are as follows:

• Pitching partner information during events, on the websites, etc.
• Organizing tech summits such as https://www.meetup.com/techdc/photos/15509362/.
• If we already collaborate on one or two of #Our offerings in one place, offering the rest in other places. For instance, we offer #WiseNxt in one school. Our mutual offering of #AINurtz Career Day in other schools and/or other regions may be beneficial to our partner school.

Used terms

On this very wikipage, a few abbreviations and terms are commonly used.

AINurtz

AINurtz is #The Pitcher's #Product line of commercial market exchangeables within the larger #WiseNxt brand, which normally is deployed to emphasize non-commercial products. The name, #AINurtz, is picked to suggest that is features both AI orientation and our nurturing approach to deliver AI skills.

The AINurtz line includes #AINurtz Career Day and AINurtz.com, which is the signature website of this #Product line.

Brand

On this wikipage, a brand refers to a name that distinguishes services of #The Pitcher or #VIT from each other, as well as from those of other service providers. The brands are compared in the table below.

Brand names	Purpose	Owner
#Careerprise	One-stop shop for career services (mostly, paid)	#VIT
#CITPMA	Entry-level credential in information technology and project management
#CNMCyber	Volunteers and career services for them	#The Pitcher
#Educaship	Collaboration to combine #Apprenticeships and education
#EmployableU	Presentations of general career concepts
#WiseNxt	School-to-work transition service
#AINurtz	Personalized, but not one-on-one, help in navigation of career journeys
#KSACerts	Credentials based on evaluations of specific #KSAs	#VIT
#Opplet	Technology behind #CNMCyber	#The Pitcher
#WorldOpp	Full-scope placement into entrepreneurship and/or employment

Careerprise

Careerprise is #VIT's one-stop shop for those who are on job markets, going to be there, or would like to be employed. The learners who are enrolled in Careerprise programs are supposed to pay for the services they receive and be paid for the services they render.

Careerprise's official website is Careerprise.com. Unlike #Our offerings, Careerprise is:

• Not a single product. It is a store, in which buyers can choose what they need.
• Not delivered by us; Careerprise is delivered by #VIT. The goal of Careerprise is not only providing its customers with career services, but also generating business revenue in order to run #VIT's operations. #VIT employs its staffers and use no volunteers. #VIT also deploys its own technology.

Nevertheless, #We collaborate with Careerprise programs because of the benefits to #The Students. They are welcome to acquire the services they need at no cost via our own products and, when they are ready to produce valuable services and be paid, switch to Careerprise. #The Students, as well as Careerprise participants, are welcome to go back and forth between #Our offerings and Careerprise as many times as they choose so.

CITPMA

CITPMA stands for Certified IT Project Management Associate, which is the trade certificate that #VIT issues to certify #KSAs of its holders in information technology and/or project management. CITPMA belongs to #KSACerts and is one of the #Certificates that #The Students earn when they get graduated from #WiseNxt Academy.

CNMCyber

The term, CNMCyber, initially referred to any digital extension of CNM, a non-profit group from which #We originally came from. CNM organized physical meetings in Northern Virginia to support individuals during career transitions. Now, #CNMCyber may refer to us, as well as to a few other phenomena such as:

• CNMCyber products, which are services behind #Our offerings. #CNMCyber Welcome, #CNMCyber Bootcamps, and its signature social network, CNMCyber.com, are those CNMCyber services that are marketed. They compose #The Pitcher's #Product line of market exchangeables that is designed to help the general public land job-alike practice and work experience. In other words, CNMCyber services can be defined as anything that #We do and that doesn't have its separate name such as #WiseNxt Academy, #EmployableU Camp, and #AINurtz Career Day. Because of our volunteer work, all of the services are brought to the general public overall and, particularly, to #The Students free-of-charge.
• Volunteer work that #We deliver. While being enrolled in #CNMCyber Bootcamps and, possibly, upper levels of #The Pipeline, #The Students can be a part of CNMCyber. With regards to them, CNMCyber can be roughly described as #The practice we envision and further #Apprenticeships for those who choose to volunteer and not transition to #Careerprise.
• Workplace in which #We volunteer. This workplace is bigger than #Opplet since #We may use physical spaces such as #VIT's office located in Chantilly, Virginia, U.S.A.

Not only CNMCyber is identified with multiple things. Similarly, a name of a particular school may refer to its education, teachers, students, as well as place for study and work. With regards to its brand name, the goal of CNMCyber is to attract potential volunteers. #We market CNMCyber in order to recruit more volunteers to join us.

Educaship

Educaship is #The Pitcher's #Product line of market exchangeables that resulted from strategic partnerships with various educational institutions and employers. The educa- beginning of the term stands for education, while the -ship ending does so for #Apprenticeships. The subset of #Educaship products that are geared towards school students is marketed separately as #WiseNxt.

In addition to the partnerships, the #Educaship line includes #Educaship Fellowship and signature website, Educaship.com.

EmployableU

EmployableU, which is pronounced as employable you, is #The Pitcher's #Product line of market exchangeables designed to introduce career management concepts to the general public. The line includes #EmployableU Camp, #EmployableU Concepts, and its signature website, EmployableU.com.

KenyaX

KenyaX is the #Brand of #WiseNxt products in Kenya.

KSACerts

KSACerts are the trade certificates that #VIT develops, administers, and markets to certify #KSAs of their holders. Four #Certificates are available to #The Students:

1. KSA Certified Event Organizer granted after successful completion of #Event-driven projects.
2. KSA Certified Website Developer to be earned in #Technology projects.
3. KSA Certified Digital Operator to be earned in #Cloud operations.
4. #CITPMA to be earned in #Endeavor coordination.

For the purposes of this wikipage, Our Partners refer to legal entities that collaborate on delivering #The practice we envision and/or #The services we build, as well as marketing of #Our offerings.

Particularly, #We are looking for:

1. Donors, government organizations, and workforce investors, so #The Students can be able to finance their vocational education and job search. #We strive to assist everyone to solve financial issues even when they have absolutely no monetary resources in their households available.
2. Education and job training providers, so #The Students can have a choice of opportunities to build their #KSAs.
3. Employers, so #The Students can land their #Apprenticeships and meaningful, high-quality employment.

The idea behind the name was that, upon their graduation from #WiseNxt, #The Students shall receive #Career-planning help, #Entry-level credentialing, #Job-related networking, #Vocational orientation, and #Work experience.

Indeed, #WiseNxt was originally expected to be launched in Ukraine; however, because of the war there, the launch was postponed. Still, #WiseNxt is going to be marketed as iDosvid in Ukraine. In Kenya, it is going to emerge as #KenyaX. The subset of commercial products within #WiseNxt is going to be marketed separately under the #AINurtz name.
