The Signal Cartel Academy facilitates interaction between potential mentors and students: its aim is to provide the necessary tools for the exchange of knowledge between players and to make sure that players are always encouraged to  ask for help and are not too afraid to volunteer their knowledge for mentoring.

Signal Cartel Academy
General

The Signal Cartel Academy is the educational division of Signal Cartel. The Academy was established on 23 November 2019 (YC 121) by Xalyar.

Purpose

The aim of the Signal Cartel Academy (SCA) is to lay out a simple and efficient framework that enables access to the wealth of knowledge, skills, and expertise found within Signal Cartel through the exchange of information between Signaleers. The Academy accomplishes this goal by facilitating the meeting of potential mentors and students, where anyone can volunteer their time and knowledge - thus becoming a mentor - for the benefit of anyone - thus becoming a student - who feels they need guidance. Ultimately, SCA is a crowdsourced endeavor that relies on everyone's participation to flourish.

Division Management

Communication

The Academy uses two modes of communication:

  • SCA section of the EvE-Scout Forums - where Signaleers post their education/training announcements and requests
  • EvE-Scout Enclave Discord server channels
    • #sca-campus - a place to share your knowledge and skills and learn from others
    • #sca-auditorium - the default voice channel for any SCA session

How To

Instructions: head to the SCA section on the Forums, and make a public new thread, listing what you intend to mentor, when you are available (tomorrow, today, in a week time) and what the requirements for your mentorship session will be. Instructions on how to format the forum posts can be found in the relevant article .

The other side of the equation works the same way. Anyone seeking for help with a specific topic will be able to post similar posts on the Forums, asking for someone with the relevant knowledge to volunteer their time for a mentoring session, reaching out with the will to learn and the need of their questions answered.

What the Academy aims at setting up isn't a rigid structure of classes, qualifications, or course, even though the plan is to fully incorporate our usual training sessions (ESRC, SAR, Tripwire, Thera Scanning) into this framework. The idea is to keep the roles as loose as possible: anyone and everyone is a mentor and a mentee, depending on the situation, and everyone is encourage to be either as needed.

The SCA will support the connecting of the two sides, and the team will be at your disposal to facilitate that at any step along the way (with or without our web tool). If resources are needed for a particular Mentoring project you have in mind, if help is needed to organise it, if you have any questions about how to get on helping others in Corp, please reach out to the SCA Team here or on the #sca-campus channel on DISCORD to discuss what the Academy can do to help make it happen.
