What are the expectations for cohort members?
Participation in the cohort requires both time and effort, specifically:
Supervisors are encouraged to allow cohort members to work on modules during work hours, as time permits.
Cohort members are expected to attend and participate, except in cases of emergency or unavoidable scheduling conflicts.
Are cohort members compensated for participation in the program?
Cohort members are provided a nominal stipend of $200 upon successful completion of the year of service and program activities. (Individuals who fail to meet service or program expectations will earn neither the certificate nor the stipend, but may reapply in subsequent years.) Cohort members may elect (but are not required) to complete two credit-bearing courses toward the Sales and Customer Service Certificate. Completion of both courses would make the employee eligible for an additional $100 stipend.
