Academy Programs for listeners (2024)
by Hope
Last post
October 27th
...See more Hi everyone! This post provides the latest information on academy programs. Every once in a while we will renew our posts to ensure the information is up to date and you can be sure that you are getting the most updated information. 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. This post is dedicated to providing listeners with the information they need on opportunities available to them within 7 Cups Academy. The 7 Cups Academy has had 1600+ graduates.  How is 7 Cups Academy different from training 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 program’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, but we can also verify your work experience if needed. Listeners can sign up for the following programs! Please note the key content learned can vary based on the electives you choose. 1. 7 Cups Internship Program The 7 Cups internship program provides participants with the unique experience of giving back to those in need while gaining in-field experience.

Last post
October 26th
...See more Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. I’m excited to share a new way to spotlight the hard work of our academy mentors. While the mentor review form and academy awards are not new, we’re now taking an extra step to showcase the positive reviews our mentors receive. Every month, I’ll be posting a summary of all the new reviews submitted for academy mentors across any program. Additionally, any mentor who receives 10 positive reviews, no matter how long it takes, will be awarded a Mentor Appreciation Certificate. After every 10 reviews, their count resets, allowing them to earn another certificate. As trainees and interns, your feedback is crucial. If a mentor has gone the extra mile for you, let us know by submitting a review. You can still nominate mentors for an Academy Award, and both mentor leaders and ambassadors can be recognized through this initiative too. 📞Submit a review here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2XnrHWY9kCWIuRyfrEyODlTnHTJOnk0HQ22orLGRneCorVg/viewform]

Whether you are a newbie or oldie team member, this is an opportunity for us to share a bit about ourselves and get to know our peers.  Our Academy Forum Cafe Chat gives us the opportunity to have informal conversations with one another: we can share stories💬, interests⛷️🏔️, favorite books📕, or favorite food🍱. Let's think of it as going for a cafe break and a chat with your peers, virtually. Your participation will help to strength relationships and bring a sense of community within the Academy team. Grab a Cup☕️ and enjoy a friendly space to share and chat💬.  Let's Chit-Chat Prompts:  🫖 Tell us about your drink of choice at your favorite cafe?  🫖 Recommend a good book, movie, or TV show we can sip our drink to... 🫖 What has been one interesting thing you have learnt recently? 🫖 Have a bucket list? Share one thing on it, and why it is important to you? 🫖 If you can recall, kindly tells us about a random act of kindness that you witnessed or did, and how did it make you feel.  I would love for us to keep the coffee, tea, and conversations flowing. Kindly, ask your peers follow-up questions, or share your own experiences to what others have posted. Be my guest and add your own prompts, if there is something you'd like to discuss. ✨Let's spill the tea Academy Team✨ ------------------------- @Hope @dreamtouch @weearth @anusha @soulfullyabutterfly @clarisse29 @walkalot @sirenofserenity @train1 @kitkats00 @thoughtlight @blinddaisy9121 @heathermarie95 @rubyjane00 @currysoup12 @yellowrose27 @azuldragon34 @yourbuddy30 @rui00 @tuffattack @comraderuhi @amber005 @quietlistener005 @hirari111 @sherweetsherif97 @cordialdancer @serenepeace3726 @dancat1128 @warmmemory6263 @gracefulbelle @wonderouslove3994 @maebyb @thoughtsbubbleexpress @mari228 @healingtalk @daydreammemories @kristynsmama @annonymousff07 @rubyjane00 @goldenrulejg @skansly @MellowMusic @Cubbytant  @uniqueGrace8272 @Mahad2804
