Hey, so I'm doing the internship program on the student track. How can I know if I'm hitting the number of hours required every week?
@Ravis889
For context: doing compulsory 5 + 2 hour elective = 7 hours a week
Hey @Ravis889, you can always keep the track for your hours, from the day your internship started. This post explains about how the internship hours are calculated: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/InternshipProjectAnnouncementandUpdates_1899/InternshipHourTrackingSystemChange_156102/1/#2071710
Ofcourse if you need more help with the hours, or tracking, you can check in with a mentor here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/MentorOffices_1129/InternshipProgramMentorsAvailabilityUpdates_76430/
i just started my trial today for the intern program but i already recieved the intern badge. does this mean i can go directly to starting the program?
@heathermarie95, you will still need to complete the trial requirements if you haven't already and submit the trial completion form before working on the other electives
thank you. i appreciate the swift response :)
What’s a good way to get 20 or more referral clicks? I don’t even know 20 people.
@resourcefulMirage2502 Try social media posting your referral link.
Thank you for the suggestion.
@resourcefulMirage2502
Yes social media is a good idea. Please do not share the link on 7 Cups. But you can share it in any social media group you are a part of and that allows it and you can get 20 with ease
Ok, thanks.
@resourcefulMirage2502
Social media is the answer hehe. Also, this is a helpful forum post on achieving referral clicks: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/FAQsandResources_1127/ASimpleGuidetoReferralClicks_84435/1/
Thank you, I’ll check it out.
For community track interns, we need 4 hours of 1 on 1 chats per week, right? No more than that per week? In the email it said that we need to devote 5-6 hours each week for timely completion. But that’s just for completing ALL the internship requirements in general, right? Not just the 1 on 1 chat hours each week. @Anusha Anyone else with the answer is of course also welcome to answer.
@resourcefulMirage2502 Yes you are right Resource. You would need to complete 4 hours of 1-1 per week. If you have choosen the additional 2 hours per week as an elective, then it would be 6 otherwise it is going to be 4 hours per week. 5-6 hours involves completion of the whole program
I see. Thank you.
How can I tell when I get a referral click? I mean, how will I be notified?
@resourcefulMirage2502 You can find them here under number of referral clicks My impact
@yourbuddy30
Thanks!
@Hope fantastic thank you so much
I'm interested in doing offline outreach and wanted to know the guidelines going about it. Also, I didn't know where to ask this but what are the "rules" about using the 7cups logo? Like would I be able to make me a shirt for personal use displaying the logo and customizing it for me, etc?
@Hope Thank you! And what about use of the 7cups logo if I want to make a shirt to wear or other advertising stuff? Am I allowed to use the logo?
@YourCaringConfidant
We have a store where you can already purchase merch with our logo!
Let me confirm about the use of logo and get back to you. I will PM
@Hope Sounds good. Just get back to me when you can. Appreciate the speedy replies. ♡
@Hope, huh, didn't know we had a store. Learn something new every day!
@Hope
I’m sorry, I hope I’m not bothering. However, I can’t find the link for the monthly evaluation form (first month). It’s due tomorrow. Could I please have the link?
@resourcefulMirage2502 @Hope Nevermind. Kay gave me the link. Completed and submitted just now. Thanks to @Jenna and @CommunityModKay for helping me with my questions about the form.
@resourcefulMirage2502
I'm glad that you found what you were looking for. I just wanted to chime in and say that you're never a bother! This thread is meant for asking questions, and we want to help our trainees succeed. Most of us were trainees at one point, so we understand the confusion that comes with navigating the system. Please never feel like you're a bother to us.
@GoldenNest2727 Thank you!
Hello, I am apart of the project lightship group would that be considered a group leadership role for the elective?
@Hope
Hi, hope you are well, I noticed on the final evaluation form, I saw one of the things recommended to do as a listener was the completion of a time management course which has a certificate of its own, can you tell me where I can find out more about this course and where I can sign up for it?
Also, when scrolling through this thread, I saw honors could be awarded with your completion certificate, how do you earn honors?
Hey @MentalOctopie9, nice to meet you! These are great questions! ❤
I think there's an option for honours in different programs, which particular program are you seeking information for?
I saw the 7 cups intern badge on your profile so sharing one about the same here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/InternshipProjectAnnouncementandUpdates_1899/InternshipHonorsProjectUpdate_229575/
And you can Click me to read more about the Time Management Course available in 7 Cups Academy.

@MentalOctopie9
Sorry more questions.
Where can I find out more about leadership roles and apply for them? Does being a part of the GLDD program contribute at all?
Where can I learn more about the community building course and participate in it?
@MentalOctopie9 Haha no worries!
♡ Where can I find out more about leadership roles and apply for them?
All about roles: https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/LeadershipPositionsResourceCenter_2141/LeadershipRolesMasterpost_245854/ and in this presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10oh0pBR1rt9C6tMAhRvjF1TfgAEHbyDQyimizN4hdfU/edit?usp=sharing
♡ Does being a part of the GLDD program contribute at all?
Contribute to what exactly?
The programs are separate from leadership roles.
♡ Where can I learn more about the community building course and participate in it? Here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/LeadershipDevelopmentProgram_202/CommunityBuildingCourse_2308/CommunityBuildingCourse_291468/
More questions are welcome! ❤
