Script

The fellows land their jobs through the WorldOpp Pipeline programme. If they start from ground zero, dedicate at least 20 hours a week, they land initial jobs as apprentices within 2-3 months in the programme. It takes 2-3 years to be competitive for well-paying jobs.

Currently, there is a $100 bonus payable to anyone who refers a WorldOpp fellow upon his or her admission to the WorldOpp programme.

If you are not interested in enrolling in the CNM Cyber Placement upon your completion of the Orientation, you are welcome to utilize CNM Cyber for their career enhancement, become a partner, contractor, or volunteer mentor for CNM Cyber Team, as well as just do nothing.

Whomever you choose to be within the CNM Cyber Workforce, the Orientation will provide you with detailed instructions how to make that real.
