Creating Content Just Got Easier! Join the Content Developing and Marketing Program (Archived)

Hope October 28th, 2022

Please view the updated post here

The 7 Cups Academy is a tuition-free institution that trains members, listeners, and researchers to develop skills and better care for our community. These are professional skills that are of great use even outside 7 Cups. We believe in practice-driven learning and all of our courses have in-field experience at the core.

The 7 Cups Academy has had 1278 graduates and currently has 404 enrolled trainees

How is 7 Cups Academy different from self-help guides or other educational material available at 7 Cups?

The academy programs target specific skills like leadership, content development, etc. Trainees not only get theoretical knowledge of the subject but also spend time practicing the skills under our practicum opportunities.

That is not all, one of the challenging parts of learning something new is that it can be an isolating experience and at times you may feel like the motivation is fading. At 7 Cups Academy, we understand your support needs. We have mentors who check in with you regularly to help you navigate the set of requirements and to offer support and encouragement.

Additionally, we believe in a student-led approach. Feedback from our trainees results in constant improvements to the programโ€™s coursework and structure. An example of this is our launch of group check-ins where academy trainees can connect with fellow trainees and share experiences.

Why choose 7 Cups Academy?

  • All of our programs are completely free

  • 1-1 mentor support to help you graduate

  • You choose your program duration and can seek extensions

  • Our programs focus on hands-on practical training

  • The programs offer training in sought-after professional skills

  • You will be provided with a certificate and a badge upon successful completion

  • You will train among a group of like-minded individuals who you can learn from

  • It is a great way to work towards a 7 Cups role. Academy graduates gain relevant experience that makes them good candidates for 7 Cups roles within that focus.

  • All graduates (from any of the academy programs) can request a letter of recommendation

  • We provide 7 Cups work verifications, references for school/university/work applications

  • Not only will we provide you with valuable training, we can also verify your work experience if needed.

@Hope

Hi Hope!

I'm interested in CDM after I joined the pop up Academy session last week but I am currently enrolled in a training program in 7cups and have committed myself to 3-5 hours per week. I was wondering can this program be counted towards that 3-5 hours?

Thank you

@ouiCherie I never received an email. Actually though, that's okay because my phone's getting turned off tonight. I won't be able to get it turned back on until Tuesday, probably. So I'd miss the start of Monday anyway.

So I'm going to need to reapply, correct? Or will you not need any more people?

Duh, I'm not even sure I'll have my phone to get your reply. But I'll look for it when I get my phone turned back on ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Thanks, and I'm sorry I sound so flakey. I'm really not, honest! ๐Ÿ‘€

But like I said, I never received an email... Does that mean I wasn't accepted?

@blueAngel00

Hi Angel, thank you for following up. I saw you chose to start on next Monday (2/1), and it is okay to miss the first day. All programs are for everyone in the community who wants to learn, but, the confirmation email is needed to confirm your commitment to enroll in the program.

I'd like to tag @Hope in this case, do resubmit application required?

blueAngel00 January 3rd, 2023

@ouiCherie I got the email yesterday morning and replied late last night. SoulfullyAButterfly answered my email so I AM starting today, YAY!

I'm very excited, both teams sound really interesting, and most likely challenging (LOVE a good challenge!)

So I'll be seeing you in the program, another YAY!

And thank you so much for helping me along in my start of this journey! You rock! โค๏ธ
