Opplet Web

Opplet Web is both (a) the network of #The Websites (hereinafter, #The Web) that CNMCyber Team (hereinafter, #We) takes care of and (b) #Endeavors to build that network. Technologically, #The Web belongs to the platform called #Opplet. Opplet DNS redirects to this wikipage.

In the nutshell

Continuous Improvement

To adapt to changing user needs and technological advancements, #The Web shall undergo continuous improvement in website performance and functionality. #We would like #Endeavors to focus on iteration and optimization in addition to initial development, post-launch maintenance, and management of user feedback.

Objectives of The Web

#We believe that #Marketing and #Learning are two equally-important groups of objectives. Each of the objectives come with metrics to assess the effectiveness of #The Web in meeting its purpose.

Technology Approach

Because of the #The Web as Workspace objective, #We would like to:

1. Consider scalability, security, and maintenance while making technology decisions.
2. Deploy either open-source #COTS and/or software that the students have written.
3. Strive to include as many popular packages as possible instead of choosing one technology stack over the other. #We believe that the students shall take advantage from practicing with a wide variety of #COTS packages.

Marketing

Each of #The Websites shall contribute to the overarching purchase funnel called Careerprise Funnel. The #Target section of this wikipage states the requirements for such contributions. #The Websites shall generate:

Community Engagement

#We target one new recruitment of #Educaship partners and #CNMCyber volunteers per week. To achieve so, #We need to reach out to at least 1,000 potential consumers every week.

Goal	#Funnel	Target
Find the leads	#ToFu	100 leads per week
Educate the leads to the prospects	#MoFu	10 prospects per week
And, if the prospects are interested in community engagement, help them to contact our engagement staffers in order to be selected and onboarded	#BoFu	1 partner or volunteer per week

Sales

Through sales of the #Careerprise and #AINurtz products, #We would like to generate budgets for sales people at least. #We plan to sell:

Items for sale	Description
Career assistance packages	Prepaid hours of career counseling, resume and cover letter writing, job search assistance, and/or interview preparation.
Passes	Admissions to hands-on career workshops and seminars.
Tickets	Admissions to networking events.
Appointments	Short one-on-one assistance sold by 30, 60, or 90 minutes.
Enrollment fees	Registration for large, a-few-months programs.

Student Enrollment

#We target 25 new enrollments of students for the #Educaship and #WiseNxt products per week. To achieve so, #We need to reach out to at least 25,000 potential consumers every week.

Goal	#Funnel	Target
Find the leads	#ToFu	2,500 leads per week
Educate the leads to the prospects	#MoFu	250 prospects per week
And, if the prospects are interested in student enrollment, help them to register at CNMCyber.com	#BoFu	25 new students per week

Learning

Source of Mentors

#The Taskforce shall be able to provide its students with sufficient numbers of mentors. Since merely recruiting individuals from different backgrounds may not necessarily lead to effective collaboration or innovation, #We are committed to foster and manage #Expert and newbie mix within the teams through:

1. CNMCyber.com
2. Events
3. One-on-one mentoring programs.

The Web as Workspace

#The Websites shall serve as workspace for the individuals engaging in job-alike practice as a part of #Educaship and #Careerprise programs. #We target that every student enrolled in the #Educaship and #WiseNxt products have two-three options for their practice.

Because of this objective, #We would like to apply #Technology Approach.

The Taskforce

#We would like to build #The Websites and are identifying the pathways to do so. #Taskforce approach and #Sequence of projects are two primary assumptions so far.

Expert and newbie mix

To achieve the #Source of Mentors objective, #We consider a combination of experts and, because of our #Learning purpose, newbie students to work on website projects:

• Experts, both the manager and non-managerial staffers listed in #Roles, are going to be recruited on the hourly basis through Upwork and other vehicles.
• Students are going to be recruited through #WiseNxt endeavors.

Roles

When hiring, review candidates' portfolios, check references, and conduct interviews to assess their skills and fit for your project. Additionally, consider working with freelancers, agencies, or outsourcing firms based on your budget and project requirements.

1. Web Designer:
   • Look for a designer with a strong portfolio and experience in web design.
   • Assess their creativity, attention to detail, and understanding of user experience principles.
2. Web Developer:
   • Hire developers proficient in the chosen technology stack.
   • Look for candidates with relevant experience and a solid understanding of web development best practices.
3. Content Creator:
   • Hire content creators who can produce engaging and SEO-friendly content.
   • Look for individuals with experience in your industry or niche.
4. Quality Assurance Specialist:
   • Hire QA specialists to thoroughly test the website before launch.
   • Look for candidates with attention to detail and experience in website testing.
5. Project Manager:
   • Consider hiring a project manager to oversee the development process and ensure deadlines are met.
   • Look for individuals with strong communication and organizational skills.

Recruitment strategy

With regards to the recruitment strategy, #We plan the following:

1. Manager search. We would like to try to find the manager first. Working knowledge of website development (not just and, possibly, not "web development" at all) and productive project management skills are essential for the manager role. If we fail to recruit a new project manager, we would consider assigning the manager role to one of our team members.
2. Staffers' search. The manager should lead our search for non-managerial staffers listed in #Roles. The manager shall develop specific implementation details on how each stage will be executed. For instance, he or she shall elaborate on how skills of web designers and developers shall be assessed.
3. Student recruitment. When the #WiseNxt project takes off, it shall produce a number of students that can join our staffers as apprentices.

Endeavors
