Key terms
- Whistleblower. A person who exposes secretive information or activity that is deemed illegal or unethical.

- OSHA's Whistleblower Protection Program. The main application that is responsible for protecting the rights of employees, who may fear job loss or other reprisals if they speak up.

- Whistleblower Protection Act. The federal labor law that was initially enacted in 1989 and enhanced in 2012 that specifically protects those people who work for the United States Federal Government and report on illegal or improper activities conducted by this government or its parts.
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.
