Join the 7 Cups Internship Program! (Archived)

Hope September 22nd, 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.

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

  • 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.

You post says that you can be a member to participate but the first question on the application is "When did you join 7 Cups as a listener". There is no option for not or never a listener.

@Gettingbettertoday Hello Today, you can be a member to participate in academy programs but the internship program is open only for listeners. I am sorry about that. You can sign up as a listener to enroll yourself in the course.

@Hope Thank you for letting us know! This sounds like a great opportunity, is there a way I can archive/star this post so that I can return to this opportunity at a later stage when things by me are a little less chaotic? I would love to try this internship, but I am currently swamped.
