An Opplet incubator (hereinafter, the Incubator) is a virtual and/or physical environment for the care, protection, and growth of those aspiring entrepreneurs (hereinafter, the Learners) who would like to become WorldOpp fellows.

The Incubator is a part of Friends Of CNM. WorldOpp Fellow Team sponsors the Incubator's activities and the CNM Council for Career Services oversees both the Incubator and WorldOpp Fellow Team.

Projects

Since project-based learning is a substantial part of Education generally and Active learning particularly, the Learner shall work on several projects while being in the Incubator.

Non-profit projects

The Learners casually start working on non-profit projects in order to get professional experience. The outcomes of those projects shall be available for the general public at no cost. Those projects may include, but not limited to development of CNM Wiki, videos for any free courses that Friends Of CNM offers, and/or other free services such as WorldOpp for the Vulnerable.
The Learners cannot receive salaries while working on non-profit projects, but are eligible for WorldOpp stipends, WorldOpp internships, and/or WorldOpp reimbursements.

For-profit projects

For-profit projects are preferred designations for the Learners when they obtain needed qualifications. In order to be for-profit, any project shall have one or more outside customers.
The Learner shall be paid for his or her work on for-profit projects contingent to customers' payments. For instance, if the Learner organizes a paid webinar, which:
  1. Has received 7 payments $10 each;
  2. Was promoted through Tech Events for Managers and Entrepreneurs; and
  3. Has no other expenses,
this Leaner will get $63 (7 * $10 * 90%) in addition to his or her WorldOpp stipend and WorldOpp internship. Meetup.com charges about 10% for payments and meetup group organizer's costs.

Compensations

Stipends and internships

WorldOpp stipends and WorldOpp internships are available for the Learners. The monthly budget for the Incubator varies from $0 to $720:
Number of positions Monthly amount Title Level's totals
4 $60 Candidate $240
2 $120 Lead Candidate $240
1 $240 Executive Candidate $240
7 Monthly total for the Incubator: $720
The monetary amount for a specific position is subject for applicable laws. The amount is defined once a week based on the previous week's performance. For paid Learners, the weekly pay of a WorldOpp stipend and WorldOpp internship cannot be less than $15 or more than $60.

Salaries
