CNM Cyber Orientation

The CNM Cyber Orientation (or, simply, the orientation; hereinafter, the Orientation) is the course that is designed to onboard potential users to CNM Cyber. The CNM Cyber Welcome Session is the Orientation's prerequisite. The Orientation serves as the prerequisite to the CNM Cyber Placement for aspiring members of both CNM Cyber Team and WorldOpp Fellow Staff.

Currently, the Orientation is published at CNM Cert. The Orientation is a final part of WorldOpp Sourcing and the second stage of the WorldOpp Pipeline.

Activities

The Orientation is made up of several mandatory learning activities, which can be chunked in two modules:

1. Welcome session, which consists of three lectios
2. Twelve preparation lessons, every of which consists of from three to five lectios. For learner's convenience, the preparation lessons are grouped in four sessions, and
3. Entrance exam, which consists of twenty questions.

One optional activity, the Next Step Q&As forum, is available for those learners who successfully completed the mandatory Orientation activities.

Forum for graduates

The Next Steps Forum is optional; that means one can graduate without it. That activity is more like a bonus -- those who achieved a particular score can ask direct questions about next steps. This is the only part of the Orientation, which materials haven't been developed at CNM Wiki prior to moving to CNM Cert.

2. If the participants are interested in the CNM IT Project Coordinator role, to guide the Aspirants in adjusting to the organizational culture of CNM Cyber Team. For the Aspirants, the Orientation is an introductory stage in the process of the Aspirants's assimilation, and a part of his or her continuous socialization process within CNM Cyber Team.

Educational objectives

For every participant, educational objectives are providing introductory knowledge about CNM Cyber Team and general workforce services including recruitment, career administration, and workforce development. At the end of the Orientation, those participants who have decided to continue, shall also know where they are, the direction they are facing, and the way they shall be able to go.

Sought outcomes

The Orientation can be followed by either:

1. Gain commitment of the Aspirants;
2. Reduce anxiety of the Aspirants;
3. Help the Aspirants understand expectations of the CNM Cyber Team and its motivations; and

Orientation Preview

Preview content

CNM Cyber Orientation

You are at the orientation that is designed to navigate you in career building, job search, as well as workforce services, particularly the ones that the Career Network Ministry offers. If you are interested in volunteering for the CNM Cyber Team or working for the Friends Of CNM, you will be eligible to enroll in the CNM Cyber Placement upon completion of this orientation.

This course is made up of this short preview lesson -- you are here -- and five sessions. Each session consists of three to six lessons. Each lesson consists of three to six parts, which are called lectios at CNM Cyber.

Every lectio starts with a presentation and ends with a survey question -- not a quiz! -- related to its learning content. For instance, in the Employees lectio of the Employment Essentials lesson, you will be asked about whether you have ever been employed. Your response will update your CNM Cabin records.

The availability of the successor activity depends on the completion of the predecessor one. In comparison with the Orientation, this orientation includes more learning content, but neither quizzes nor exams.

The Career Network Ministry is a volunteer-driven community; as all its services, this orientation is brought to you free of charge.

This is a preview to WorldOpp Orientation. This Orientation's materials have been published at CNM Wiki.

To access it, launch any web browser. In its address bar, which some also call the URL field, type wiki, dot, k, s, a, certs, once again, it is double-u, ai, kay, ai, dot, kay, ess, a, cee, ee, ar, tee, ess, dot-com. Your request should bring you to the landing page of CNM Wiki. Scroll down a little bit to Collection of learning materials and click on WorldOpp Orientation. This action should bring you to the front page of the course materials.

WorldOpp Orientation is the introduction to Friends Of CNM and its services. The Orientation is designed for aspiring candidates to learn and work using Friends Of CNM resources.

The Orientation consists of eight sessions. In its curriculum outline, we may see that the first session is Introduction to Employment. According to the outline, this session contains three presentations, which are Cyber Workforce Essentials, CNM Cyber Communities, and CNM Cyber Essentials. Let's click on the session's title and check. Well, we can see Cyber Workforce Essentials, CNM Cyber Communities, and CNM Cyber Essentials -- here we go.

Let's go back to the course front page. If the Orientation is taken on the CNM Cert, every presentation is followed by a quiz. Nothing is mandatory; however, only those participants who pass the Orientation's quizzes should be able to advance to the next stage.

Indeed, CNM Cyber Orientation itself is the first stage of WorldOpp Pipeline. Let's open the available image. We can see that the pipeline, besides the Orientation, consists of placement seminar, WorldOpp Bootcamp, and WorldOpp Employment.

The Orientation is the place where you can learn what WorldOpp is, what the Friends Of CNM is, what technology will be used, what expectations you can have from Friends Of CNM and what expectations Friends Of CNM will have from you.

Based on your exam success you can be enrolled into the placement seminar, which is a more hands-on activity in comparison with the Orientation. The seminar is the place where you will learn how to use the wiki, how to use other development apps, and, based on this seminar, you will be enrolled into the boot camp. You can also be placed in a WorldOpp incubator. This is why the seminar is called the placement seminar.

In the case that you get to the incubator, you can get a monthly stipend while you are learning. This which will allow you to cater for some of your expenses while learning. You will decide how to use the money. Friends Of CNM will never ask you how you spend your stipend. And, of course, no one will ever seriously ask you to return the money.

WorldOpp Bootcamp is actually a pre-employment training. It may take about five or six weeks to finish it; though, this is just an estimate. Based on the boot camp, you can be promoted to WorldOpp Employment, which is the combination of on-the-job training, education, and the job itself.

You are welcome to explore other pages and videos in order to find more information about the orientation and review its materials. When you decide to get enrolled, you are invited to go to careerprise -- once again, it is see, a, ar, double ee, ar, pee, ar, ai, ess, ee, dot com and click on "Register".
