Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. It is common to have questions regarding your academy program journey.

Here is how to get support!
Respond to this thread with your question(s) and the program you are enrolled in. Remember, more information is better than less information. Provide context where needed so you can get speedy answers.
Who can respond to the questions?
Academy mentors, graduates, and even trainees if they are sure of the answer! Feel free to support each other and provide tips!
Make sure to keep an eye on your notifications so you can check the thread for answers. You can expect an answer within 24-30 hours.
Hi can you tell me the requirements for my internship please?
Hey @Lightwarrior12 congrats on enrolling!
You can find the requirements here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/AnnouncementsandUpdates_2197/InternshipUpdateFeb2023_299330/
Detailed list of your respective track (student or community) would also be mailed to you in your intern kit!
Feel free to ask if you have more questions!💛
What is the soonest I can end the Quality Listening Program if I signed up to do it in six weeks, and I finish it in one or two weeks?
@HermitHealer
You can submit the last step form once you have completed all the requirements including listening hours for at least 6 weeks worth of the program (6X3 = 18 hours)
@Hope
Thank you
So if I complete 30 hours I will graduate with honors, correct?
@HermitHealer
Hello, HermitHealer. I copied the honors information directly from the graduation completion form:
Trainees will be granted Honors if they do ONE of the following:
- They completed a minimum 5 hours of weekly listening using the best practices guide throughout the program.
- They completed 7 electives in total
- They are a Quality Mentor/Teen Star or a 7 Cups academy mentor focusing on the Quality Listening Program
It's terrific that you're considering going for honors. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see your name on the Academy graduation list.
Hey, there. This is Dys, a trainee under QLP. I have a question concerning the application of the member's best practice guide.
I face some struggles in applying the guide in every 1-1 chat, as it's pretty different from my usual listening style. Is it important to follow it precisely in 1-1 chats in order for me to graduate? I mean, I notice that in the Last Step Form, I need to mention different usernames of members whom I have chatted, with during QLP, so I guess would be done somehow. + I want to know, would that break any boundaries concerning privacy?
Hello, Dys. Reach out to a mentor about following the guide. They might be able to offer some beneficial tips to help you along, or you might find out that it's really more important to follow the spirit of the guide than it is to hit every step exactly as stated. You will find your list of mentors right here. https://www.7cups.com/forum/QualityListeningProgram_207/MentorOffices_2211/7CupsAcademyMentorsQualityListeningProgramAvailabilityUpdates_238976/
In my experience, the mentors are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and generous with their time. Don't hesitate to send them a message.
As for the form, you wouldn't be sharing the content of your chat, and the information certainly wouldn't be shared around, but you can raise that question with your mentors too. How professional and ethical of you to be considerate about listener-member confidentiality! The fact that you're looking out for your members just shows what an excellent listener you are! 😊
@GoldenNest2727
Thanks a lot for your insight! And I will double check this with my mentor. I appreciate your kind words.😊
@Hope
Hello, I have filled out the monthly evaluation form for the internship period and I have also selected the electives I want to complete. However, I am unable to recall all the electives I have chosen 😅 Could you please guide me on how to check my selections?
@wildflower999
Aw that sooo happens, I remember taking a screenshot of my selections haha!
You're in the right place, asking for support for it! You can reach out to an intern mentor listed here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/interns/MentorOffices_1129/InternshipProgramMentorsAvailabilityUpdates_76430/ and they can share the list of electives you chose! Gooood luck!💛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you! I will contact a mentor. I remember taking a screenshot as well but now I can't find it😅
Hey there wonderful peoples! I need a help with filling up my final evaluation form for the 7 Cups Internship. (The form looks scary at first glance!) Could anyone help me figure out 'what is what' please? 🥺
Any help would be super appreciated<3
@AloneGhost
It sounds like you're well on your way to graduating, AloneGhost. Woot, woot!
Reach out to your internship mentors for help with the form. They're the best source of knowledge in that area. I've noticed that https://www.7cups.com/@wonderfulRainbow817, is an incredibly helpful mentor who is usually quick to engage and super helpful, so I'll tag her @wonderfulRainbow817
You can find the other internship mentors right here https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/MentorOffices_1129/InternshipMentorsAvailabilityUpdates_76430/ . Look for an active name and shoot them a message.
I've already reached out to @Sunisshiningandsoareyou and figured out the eval form I was looking at was the outdated one. ":)
Thank you so much for replying and thanks to everyone for the help!
@Hope
Hi, my name is Eddie and I am currently in the internship program. I had a quick question about one of the requirements: for the major requirement of 10 trainings (any 10 in addition to the 6 peer trainings), can I fulfill this requirement with 6 more peer trainings? Does the “Active Listening”, “Verified Listener”, “Practice Chat Refresher”, and “Listener Community Guide” count towards this requirement too?
@EddieL Yes you can finish the 6 other peer trainings Eddie. And yes, the others to count as training guides except the verified listener badge. That is a necessary part of the internship.
hi,
who is the internship supervisor for the community track internship? And what are their contact details?
@Kathleen207 Hello Kathleen, you can contact @Hope for that. You can leave them a PM.
@Hope
Hey there everyone!
I still haven't chosen my electives yet but I wanted to know
- if there was a way to keep track of the messages I send in the listener chatrooms and member group support chatrooms
- if there is a specific poster that I have to use for the community outreach elective
Timeline: 3rd week
Internship: 7 cups internship
Thank you for your help in advance! <3
@helpfulstrawberry312 Hello Helpful. You don't really have a way to keep a track of your messages in listener rooms. But yes, 25 messages in the rooms counts as 1 chat. so if you are able to finish 20 chats in listener or member rooms it counts as an elective.
For the outreach poster you can come up with something you created and get it approved by Hope. If they have approved it, you can move forward with it.
All the best for your internship!
@yourbuddy30
Got it, thank you so much for your help!!
