Is it possible to shorten your quality listening program? I asked for 12 weeks for problems but ended up doing everything in two. Do I have to keep it up for 12 or can I ask for it to be shorter?
@Ginevra962 @Hope
Similar question here, though with the internship. I knocked out most of the things I needed to get done already, and I think 6 months for my enrollment might be a bit long at this point.
@Ginevra962
Yes, the program can be shortened! You can submit your last step form to graduate early. You can submit it as early as on your week 5 for QLP.
You can also use the time to work towards Honors. It is also worth noting that if you complete more listening hours, they will show up on your certificate.
@Ginevra962 Hello Ginevra, Since you're already a part of the GLDD program could you please tell me how to go about it? What are the steps and how would I be able to complete them?
Thank you so much! Hope you have a great day ahead🧡🌻
Hello @StarlgirlTina I'm really sorry. There must have been a misunderstanding. I have never been part of GLDD and do not intend to take part in it for the moment
Hi! It's always me 😂
Can someone give me a detailed program of qhat you have to do for Content Development and Marketing please?
Hi @Ginevra962 Thank you for the questions.
What you'll have to do on CDM (in general):
- Paragraph writings: a couple of paragraph writing exercises (incl. Writing a Q&A answer that will get approved)
- Graphic design: exercise to create a social media graphic for mental health support
- Social media copywriting (case study Twitter): exercise how to write 2 copies to introduce 7 Cups while supporting people
- Article writing: learn about best writing practice for 7 Cups article and observe E.A.T factors in an article, exercise to create SEO friendly headline and sub headlines, article outlining and finally writing an article.
- Practical experiences: exercise to create 2 types of contents for 7 Cups (elective).
Hope it helps 🤍
Thank you so much for your answer 💜
Hi there, hope you're doing well.
I would love to ask a question, It's regarding the honours options article editing, making a growth way path, or content project ideas. I'm not clear with the syllabus here and would like to have a bit more details on that.
Also, another question I had regarding the certification, is its recognition since most online course certificates are not quite recognized well in many job sectors and places.
Hi @ThoughtBubbleExpess
I just saw this and we have covered these questions on Academy Hub 🤍 but for others who may have similar questions about Honor options:
- Editing article: you'll be given an editing guide and an article to edit for the project.
- Social media content: create a content plan for 5 posts (or how many is required), including graphics, caption copy, perhaps hashtags. It's a good exercise to get the experience to be content planner.
- Growth Path: create a step-by-step path that you feel would help others. The best way is to create a path based on your experience.
If you choose Growth Path, please set it to unlisted.
As for recognition, the Academy is quite new, but we continue to work on improving the quality. Thank you for the questions and hope it helps 😊🤍
I asked this question before the orientation but thanks for a better clarity 🌟✨
@Hope I have not received any emails
Hi @Aurorawild000
For what program?
@Hope
I am wondering where I can view how many listener group chats I have. And how to get into listener group chats?
@33denice you can see that in your profile...the number which is beside the phrase "Listener Group Chats"
since you are a teen..you can enter the "teen listener" from here : https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php for getting more listener group chats.
25 messages sent in that room is equal to 1 listener group chat
@BlueRiver5968
Thanks
So, I submitted my honors essay. My end date is initially on the 29th. However, since all my elections are finished I wish graduate earlier than intended. Do I have to wait to hear back about my honors essay before filling out the completion form?
Also when filling out the completion form in the "Total Trainings Completed" box, what exactly is it referring to?
I appreciate any response in advance! Thank you!
Program: 7 Cups Internship
Edited by Hope to add the program
@Priscilaxx
You do need to have your Honors Essay posted before you submit your final evaluation form. As for trainings, total trainings completed include all trainings you completed listed here with the exception of peer trainings and active listening tests.
@Hope
I'm in the internship program and I was wondering about how to join the honours internship program? I'm currently a chat supporter, and I was hoping that role would be able to fulfil the honours internship requirement. Where can I apply for honours?
@JuneTrips
You are a room supporter which makes you eligible for Honors for 7 Cups Internship and you can use chat support as a leadership role as one of the Internship electives. You don't need to apply for anything. Just mention your honors option when you submit your final evaluation form once everything is complete.
@Hope
Alright, thank you so much Hope!
@Hope Hi. I have not yet started since I got the mail last week. Is it mandatory to put in some hours every week or we can complete any time within 12 weeks time?
@cuddlyCandy7014
We recommend starting on the start date and working through your requirements list sent in the email you received. Some of the requirements are time sensitive like becoming a verified listener is not something you can do in a rush as it depends on other people processing your work.
If you have less availability now and more in the future, you can start off with the time-sensitive requirements first but do note that if you do make more progress. you can finish early which is better. All in all, it is not entirely possible to pend the requirements till last few weeks and definitely not recommended.
@Hope
Hello!
Where can I get my referral link to 7 cups? Having 20+ referrals is part of the internship requirements, but I'm not sure where to find my referral link.
Thank you!
@BlueDaisyZ
Hi Daisy! Please check here for your link! it is the 'personal link'. Please don't share on 7 Cups!
@Hope whats is expected of me in the internship ?
@frostyApple6757
Hi Frosty! You are expected to follow your Internship requirements list, all the requirements are listed there! I recommend starting by getting verified if you are not yet verified.
