Match Ready is a self-paced, eight-chapter course with several five-minute video lessons per chapter along with assignments and exercises you will be expected to complete and submit. There are 16 assignments and each can take between 20 to 40 minutes to complete. As this is a self-paced course, you will have 12 months to complete all video lessons and assignments before your team’s access to Match Ready expires.
You will also have access to weekly office hours where you can come to us with your questions or to review any assignments you’ve submitted. Office hours are optional for your team.
Match ready also includes 4 review and practice sessions (1.5 hours) where you can practice your pitch, review your system strategies and gain confidence in your organization’s ask and ability to navigate corporate partnership communications. These sessions can be booked on our calendar according to your team’s schedule and are open for all team members to attend.
Any team members, including board members or volunteers, can have access to Match Ready once your organization has signed up.
We understand that taking on corporate partnership management can feel like a full time job. Allowing multiple team members to take part in our lessons helps maximize your solicitation potential and ease the workload for each employee. Our course is designed so that these skills can be easily incorporated into your organization's weekly tasks without overwhelming your team.
Our course is delivered through the platform Thinkific. It includes 8 chapters with several five-minute video lessons per chapter along with assignments and exercises that need to be completed and submitted through Thinkific. We take a practical approach to our lessons and want to make sure your team gets hands-on experience with solicitation in addition to learning theoretical skills.
Our course ensures that your team members are comfortable handling partnership management through practice. Not only will you be learning best practices, but you will also get to try out your new skills as lessons progress.
That’s fantastic! Each team member participating in Match Ready will receive their own login information and account with Thinkific. This is to prevent any conflict in progress made if you are all completing the lessons on different schedules.
For assignments and worksheets, organizations only need to submit one copy for the whole team. If someone in your team has already submitted the assignment, feel free to skip ahead to the next lesson. However, the assignments are important exercises for your entire team, so we recommend each team member completing them even if you don’t need to submit your individual work.
