Careerprise Employment

WorldOpp Employment

WorldOpp Employment (alternatively known as WorldOpp apprenticeship and WorldOpp Fellowship; hereinafter, the Employment) is the process in which graduates from WorldOpp Bootcamp start out as apprentices working part-time for WorldOpp Fellow Staff, later become full-time employees, and finally move to independent work for their own companies and/or other employers.

Education is another vital part of the Employment. At the same time, study schedule starts with 35 hours a week and gradually goes down to 5 hours a week within 8 months.

WorldOpp Pipeline

The Employment is the final stage of WorldOpp Pipeline.

Components

The Employment is a combination of work experience, career administration, and study. The study includes both on-the-job training and formal education.

Work experience

Based on results of WorldOpp Placement Seminar, WorldOpp fellows are placed into some specialty path such as accounting, business analysis, executive administration including entrepreneurship, information technology, project management, and/or systems engineering in order to build up their work experience.

On-the-job training

One or more mentors are assigned to every WorldOpp fellow.

Formal education

Main wikipage: WorldOpp Fellow Curriculum

No single curriculum exists. Three parties, namely --

1. Bracka School as an educational institution;
2. Friends Of CNM as an employer; and
3. A WorldOpp fellow him- or her-self;

-- are supposed to team up in order to craft learning plans for every WorldOpp fellow individually. However, these plans shall comply to unified guidelines known as WorldOpp Fellow Curriculum.

Career administration

Main wikipage: Career administration

Stages

No path is the same. However, by default, the Employment could be divided in three stages.

In-house employment

WorldOpp fellows are supposed to start out as staffers at WorldOpp Fellow Staff. The work schedule can start with 5 hours of work a week and gradually increase to a full-time work schedule in about 8 months. For instance, the following table can represent the combination of study and work for executive administrators:

Assisted employment

After obtaining initial work experience at WorldOpp Fellow Staff, WorldOpp fellows are placed in assisted employment with local companies that support WorldOpp. The schedule shall allow keeping a ratio of 35 hours of work and 5 hours of formal education every week.

The compensation depends on the employer's payroll schedule; however, the fellows often receive some portion of what skilled workers are paid at the beginning and are gradually moved to the full compensation amount in about a year.

Assistance is the single vital feature of this stage. Friends Of CNM supports the participating fellows administratively, financially, legally, and technologically.

Independent employment

At the final stage, WorldOpp fellows should be able to navigate the employment market on their own. Special financing is available for those fellows who is willing and capable to start their own enterprises.

So, the fellows can be employed by their own companies, other employers, or by any combination of those. For any fellow, assistance is still available for their new work projects.
