training
After graduation from Educaship Bootcamp, our fellows pursue two tracks:
- Formal curriculum, which is defined in partnership with the college that would issue your credential;
- On-the-job training, which is defined in partnership with your mentors.
Our introductory sessions in project management, IT, leadership, data analysis, and DevOps are also open to the general public at no charge.

Traditionally, but not necessarily, you will work as a project manager, business analyst, Scrum master, product owner, and/or tech lead. Your work hours and rate increase as your capacity increase.

I love our tech team. Collaboration is the first advantage. I am always available to help and enjoy availability of someone else's help as well. Well-defined configuration management is the second advantage. And, most importantly, the constant discovery of new horizons is unparalleled.
use cases
High-school drop-out:
No GED is needed to get started with WorldOpp. Based on Educaship Bootcamp , we at Friends of CNM always assess what parts of knowledge, skills, and abilities you are missing in order to get employed as our apprentice. Our CMO-in-Training, Vaclav Jobs, started out of the middle school.
Partially-disabled person:
We welcome partially-disabled people! Based on Educaship Bootcamp, we at Friends of CNM always assess what type of employment fits your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Our past CTO, Chris P., periodically experiences crises, which are related to some mental disability. Now, he is gainfully teaching online.
50+ years-old laid-off worker:
Your age has no relevance for WorldOpp's admissions. Our past trainer, Diane J., was laid off after decades of her work for one particular employer. Now, she is a senior manager for one national association in the Washington, DC metro area.
