After an application has been reviewed and approved, the next step is to schedule an orientation call. If you are unable to find a compatible time because of conflicting time zones, please reach out to your @faculty-admin teammates to assist.
Orientation calls are a short interview call with the applicant to welcome them and discuss next steps. You can use this template for orientation calls, but all calls should follow the flow outlined below:
Introduce yourself & ask the applicant to share a bit about how they got started in WordPress
Share an overview of Learn WordPress
Share the purpose of the Faculty Program
Note the areas of responsibility in which the applicant can be involved
Confirm the applicant has read the Faculty Program agreement
Share how the Faculty Program interacts with Training Team contributors
New contributors will look to Faculty members for guidance as they get started. Share the Getting Started page for new contributors so the Faculty member can review the onboarding for their specific roles.
Share next steps (see “After the call” below for action items)
