iDosvid pitch is a pitch that The Economic Group (hereinafter, #The Pitcher) utilizes in order to attract participants (hereinafter, #The Students) in Kenya to #iDosvid.

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


In the nutshell

With regards to Kenya, #The Pitcher's goal is assisting youth in entering the workforce. According to "Youth Employment Initiatives in Kenya. Report of a Review Commissioned by the World Bank and Kenya Vision 2030",

Kenya faces a significant unemployment problem with youth being hit hardest. The high unemployment is related to the overall investment climate in the country and the economy’s low capacity to create new jobs. But youth find it particularly difficult to enter the labour market. Reasons for this are complex. They range from deficits in education and skills to lack of work experience, difficulties to obtain information about career options and job chances, irrational recruitment practices of employers, and the lack of necessary assets and attitudes to become self-employed. (Source: https://vision2030.go.ke/publication/youth-employment-initiatives-in-kenya/)

Since 2012, #The Pitcher generally and #We particularly have been developing services for those who are thinking about careers and looking for jobs to begin with. #iDosvid is our signature product for high-school students. This service features artificial intelligence, introductory training, and workplace sandboxes to deliver vocational orientation and work experience to #The Students.

Its backbone is job-alike practice, in which #The Students explore various occupations to find the best match. Until target occupations are identified, #The Students can organize meetings, develop IT, operate clouds, and coordinate cyber endeavors that would benefit the public good.

While being placed in the drivers' seats of modern technology, #The Students start their professional experience and earn #Competency credentials. Equally importantly, that practice may reveal or, at least, suggest professional aspirations of #The Students. #We envision to use practice's results for their #Vocational orientation.

To advance #iDosvid, #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.

30-second elevation

Elevator pitch: Are you looking for a job to begin with? Are you thinking about a career? iDosvid features artificial intelligence, job-alike practice, and vocational orientation to provide you with introductory work experience, career options, and guided entrance to the labor market. Until your specialty job is landed, you can organize meetings, develop IT, operate clouds, and coordinate cyber endeavors that would benefit the public good. In the driver's seat, you are to explore various professions in order to find the best match and earn industry credentials. One-on-one connection, no fees, no obligations, no fear. iDosvid.com/career shall get you started.

DevOps

For the purposes of this wikipage, DevOps refers to combined continuous development (Dev) and operations (Ops) of services behind #iDosvid. To advance them, 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 #What services we build and finalize #What practice we envision. By design, they need to be under both continuous development (Dev) and operations (Ops) as long as #iDosvid exists.

iDosvid

iDosvid represents the full scope of the first three stages of #The Pipeline delivered free of charge.

The name

iDosvid was originally expected to be launched in Ukraine; however, because of the war there, the launch was postponed. The name, i Dosvid, pronounced "ee dos-veed", which means "and experience" in Ukrainian. The idea behind the name was that #The Students shall receive #Vocational orientation, #Competency credentials, "and experience" by the end of iDosvid.

The purposes

#We may suggest that some of #The Students would be employable as a result of iDosvid. However, providing #The Students with full-time professional employment is not iDosvid's objective. The goal of iDosvid is setting up #The Students for success in their career development. #We expect that graduates from iDosvid should:
  • Identify their target occupation or occupations.
  • Have a choice of apprenticeship and workforce development opportunities, including ones from professional training providers.
  • Be able to plan their career development and meaningful job landing in some details, including financial issues even when they have absolutely no monetary resources in their households available.
  • Be more employable than before enrolling into iDosvid.

What services we build

For the purposes of this wikipage, services we build refer to services behind #iDosvid. #We would love to provide #The Students with #Workplace sandboxes, which shall be similar to regular workplace, so #The Students can practice with #What practice we envision in order to explore various professions in order to find the best match and earn #Competency credentials.

#We use #DevOps to advance our services. Since they heavily rely on #The Cloud, #The Students shall also get #Tech support.

Credentialing

For the purposes of this wikipage, credentialing refers to services of:
  1. Providing #The Students with opportunities to earn #Competency credentials.
  2. Making sure that #VIT issues #Competency credentials to #The Students who have earned them, as well as that #VIT maintains credential records publicly, so potential employers may verify them.

Introductory training

#The Students should receive formal training that reflects the #Learning sequence we use and based on #Course prototypes.

Student support

For the purposes of this wikipage, student support refers to our services of helping #The Students to be successful academically and socially. Because not only students need to be supported technologically, #Tech support is a separate section on this wikipage.
  1. CNMCyber events
  2. CNM Social
  3. To get one-on-one connection, #The Students shall be served with a sufficient number of #The Mentors, including #Staffers on the ground. #The Mentors may also provide #The Students with some on-the-job training when needed.

Professional networking

For the purposes of this wikipage, professional networking refers to our services of helping #The Students to network professionally. Besides contacts with #The Mentors and their peers, #The Students are welcome to undertake #Event-driven projects and participate in #Professional groups. Altogether with #Performance records, #The Students should be able to build their own professional networks.

Vocational orientation

Based on #What practice we envision, recommendations of #The Mentors, and personal survey results, #The Students shall be advised about their vocational aptitudes, career options, and occupational paths. #We plan to utilize artificial intelligence (AI), requirements for which shall be defined and implemented.

Competency credentials

#We believe that professional credentials are highly desired outcome for most of #The Students. Our service of #Credentialing is designed to give those, who are enrolled into #iDosvid, opportunities to earn them.

Certificates

Graduation from any quarter of #CNMCyber Bootcamps grants #The Students a notification of completion. To obtain a trade certificate students are required to pay a specified amount. So, graduates from #iDosvid will have all four notifications of completion, and upon paying the specified amount students will recieve all four certificates, specifically KSA Certified Event Organizer, KSA Certified Digital Developer, KSA Certified Digital Operator, and Certified IT Project Management Associate (CITPMA).
#VIT issues those certificates based on the data that #We provide, as well as maintains the records. These trade certificates are not tailored to any particular profession, but are useful through various professional specialties and occupations.

Performance records

While being enrolled in #What practice we envision, #The Students shall participate in #Professional groups. Altogether with professionally-meaningful connections, that participation shall generate records of profession-related performance such as delivering a speech, serving on a board, writing an article, etc.

Recommendations

Each of graduates from #iDosvid will receive an official professional recommendation from #The Mentors.

Work experience

Graduates from #iDosvid will obtain work experience, which many employers value over other #Competency credentials. The graduates may choose to hide their records. Otherwise, the work experience records will be posted publicly, so potential employers can verify them.

Learning sequence we use

#iDosvid utilizes the first three stages of #The Pipeline. These stages are designed to provide #The Students with introductory work experience, career options, and guided entrance, normally, as apprentices to the labour market.

The fourth stage, Educaship Fellowship, combines professional education and apprenticeship. On the fifth stage, Careerprise Employment, #The Students get support while transitioning to professional jobs. If #The Students choose to be self-employed, they receive assets and attitudes to become the ones.

WorldOpp Orientation

WorldOpp Orientation is a brief, no more than 2 hour long, course that is designed to introduce #The Students to #The Pipeline, #What services we build, #Competency credentials, #Learning sequence we use, #What practice we envision, #What we already get, as well as #What we can commit to. In other words, #The Students will overview what they can expect from #The Pitcher and us, as well as what is expected from them while they are enrolled in #The Pipeline.

EmployableU Concepts

EmployableU Concepts is a lightweight, about 3-4 hour long, course that is designed to introduce #The Students to general concepts related to careers and career management, as well as employment, employability, self-employment, job markets, labor laws, occupations, professional credentials, recruitment, work characteristics, work arrangements, and workforce development.

CNMCyber Bootcamps

CNMCyber Bootcamps combine #What practice we envision and formal transfer of knowledge that #The Students minimally need for that practice. The Bootcampts are composed of four quarters, each of which represents formal curriculum and the practice that is designed to reinforce that curriculum.
Quarter # Quarter title Activity # Learning activity description Quarter-graduating #Certificates
1 Organization of professional meetings 1a Taking Event Organizer Bootcamp lectures KSA Certified Event Organizer
1b Practicing with #Event-driven projects as CNM Event Organizers
2 Development of #CNMCyber 2a Taking Website Developer Bootcamp lectures KSA Certified Digital Developer
2b Practicing with #Technology projects as CNM Website Developers

4 Coordination of #CNMCyber 4a Taking Cyber Coordinator Bootcamp lectures Certified IT Project Management Associate (CITPMA)
4b Practicing with #Endeavor coordination as CNMCyber Coordinators; planning for the career is the graduating endeavor.

What practice we envision

For the purposes of this wikipage, practice refers to CNMCyber practice, in which #The Students undertake efforts to produce and/or operate CNMCyber products. The practice combines experiential learning, on-the-job training, and introductory work experience.

As the core of #CNMCyber Bootcamps, #The Students are going to practice with real-world tasks in job simulation environments. A notable difference between real-world job and our practice is that #We welcome errors and mistakes. For that reason, practice tasks are designed to be non-sensitive and, therefore, risk tolerant.

No practice presents any particular #Occupation. All of the practices can be met in workspaces across various industries and professions. #We use #DevOps to define those practices.

Finally, #The Students practice with the non-profit endeavors only. Any value that those endeavors may produce must be available to the general public at no cost. In other words, the endeavors should benefit the public good and be offered free-of-charge. When #The Students are legally able to work commercially and if they would like to do so, they are welcome to switch to #Careerprise at any time. To be employed and paid, they would develop those services that can be sold on the market.

Similarly to previous practices, CNMCyber Coordinators deal with #Event-driven projects, #Technology projects, and #Cloud operations. However, they now do so on the customer's or manager's side, not on the provider's side. Thus, CNMCyber Coordinators are involved in recruitment and management as well.

Other products we market

Careerprise

Careerprise is the package of commercial services to those who are on job markets, going to be there, or would like to be employed. The learners who are enrolled in Careerprise are supposed to pay for the services they receive and be paid for the services they render.
Unlike #iDosvid, Careerprise is:
  • Not a single product. It is more like 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 provide its customers with career services, but also generate business revenue in order to run its operations. #VIT employs its staffers and use no volunteers. #VIT also deploys its own technology.
Nevertheless, #We may market Careerprise 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 #iDosvid and Careerprise as many times as they choose so.

CNMCyber

The term, CNMCyber, may refer to us, as well as indicate one or more of other three:
The goal of CNMCyber, as a brand name, is to attract potential volunteers. #We market CNMCyber in order to recruit more volunteers to join us.

EmployableU Camp

EmployableU Camp is the shortened version of #iDosvid that is designed to be delivered as a #Summer camp. Both the Camp and #iDosvid feature full-scope #WorldOpp Orientation and #EmployableU Concepts courses. However, the scope of #CNMCyber Bootcamps including their curriculum, job-alike practice, and guided entrance to the labour market is significantly reduced in comparison with #iDosvid. The Camp is designed to be delivered in 3 sessions.
The goal of the Camp is preparing #The Students for career development. #We expect that graduates from the Camp should know how to identify their target occupations, choices for acquiring the needed #KSAs, and landing their jobs. Those participants of the Camp who are interested in a fuller scope can switch to #iDosvid while being enrolled in or after graduation from the Camp.

Job offers

For the purposes of this wikipage, job offers refer to the paid work that #VIT or other employers that are affiliated with #The Pitcher will propose to #The Students while they are enrolled in #The Pipeline.

#We welcome job offers as a part of career development. If you are one of #The Students who can legally work and need to earn for your living immediately, #We encourage you to look for other opportunities. Although our services are designed to help you to land full-time professional employment, that endeavor normally takes time, possibly, years.

Apprenticeships

#The Students' successful completion of #CNMCyber Bootcamps shall automatically lead to an offer to continue with Educaship Fellowship, which is the fourth stage of #The Pipeline. Apprenticeship is the backbone feature of the Fellowship. Its participants normally start working at some portion of a professional rate and their rates grow as their #KSAs grow.

Side work

For the purposes of this wikipage, side work refer to paid work that #VIT offers to #The Students as independent contractors. As soon as #The Students earn the KSA Certified Event Organizer credential, they receive an offer to execute the Careerprise contractor agreement.
Only people of the age of majority can be a party in that agreement. If #The Students cannot legally do so, they can possibly try to ask their custodians. In that case, the custodian may play a role of an independent contractor, while hiring a minor as a subcontractor.
Careerprise contractors may choose a project they would like to work on. Work on some of the projects require only skills to interview the customers; that is why #The Students' ability to organize meetings is vital.
The funded projects are listed on the Careerprise bizopp wikipage. That work is not designed as full-time professional employment. Both quantity of projects and their funding are limited. Nevertheless, #The Students may be benefited from paid part-time work while they are building their future careers.

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 #iDosvid.

Workplace sandboxes

Each of #The Students will receive:
  • His or her personal #VM. Those VMs will emulate corporate devices; they shall be used in #What practice we envision.
  • His or her human resource module account in CNM Corp. To simulate corporate environment, #The Students will punch in when they arrive and punch out when they leave.
As of October of 2023, about 80% of sandbox #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 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.

The Cloud

For the purposes of this wikipage, the Cloud refers to Opplet, which is our cloud-based technology behind #What services we build. #The Students get:
  • System accounts that are assigned automatically.
  • End-user, power-user, and/or administrator-level permissions for the common-access technology that they practice with.
  • #VMs with super-user permissions.
Those #Students who choose to become system administrators, may conduct their apprenticeships on CNM Bureau Farm, CNM Campus Farm, and CNM Lab Farm. As of October of 2023, about 67% of #MVP is complete.

What we can commit to

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 #The Cloud until 100% of #MVP is complete.
  2. Secondly, #We would favor covering costs of #Internet connection.

Tech support

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

Access to our cloud

To access the technology, #The Students should have:

Internet connection

Through #Limited financing, #We may initiate partial or full reimbursements when #The Students access via their own devices.

Computing devices

Such as smartphones or laptops.

What students we target

#We welcome #The Students of any walks of life until they believe that #What services we build can help them. Saying that, #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 one grade before the graduation class. At that age, the biggest percentage of potential participants are identifying their vocations.

Secondary audiences

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