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.

Signal Cartel Academy isn't intended to be a rigid structure of classes, qualifications, or courses, 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 student, depending on the situation, and everyone is encouraged to be either as needed.

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 Does This Work?

Mentor

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 .

Student

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.

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. If resources are needed for a particular mentoring project you have in mind, if help is needed to organize it, if you have any questions about how to help others in Corp, please reach out to the SCA team on the #sca-campus Discord channel to discuss what the Academy can do to help make it happen.
