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.
