			== Master Developer Program (Open Source Track) — FAQ ==

			=== 1) What is EducateONE? ===
			EducateONE is a startup social venture developing a “pre-school to Ph.D.” education system from the ground up, currently we offer secondary education through Global SchoolONE and offer internal postgraduate education for those who are volunteers and/or contractors.

			=== 2) What is UniversityONE? ===
			UniversityONE is the tertiary (post-secondary) portion of EducateONE, where programs are structured around mastery learning. Currently these programs are only internal to our volunteers and/or contractors.

			=== 3) What is the Master Developer program? ===
			A post-graduate learning program designed to help interns become full software engineers through mentorship and demonstrated mastery of defined competencies.

			=== 4) Is the Master Developer program a Master’s degree? ===
			Not currently. The program is '''not yet accredited''' as a Master’s degree, though EducateONE is pursuing accreditation through DEAC so it can be formally recognized as such.

			=== 5) What is the specific opportunity being discussed? ===
			A single internship slot for a developer focused on '''a specific open source software platform''' (examples: '''Odoo''', '''MediaWiki''', etc.), including:

			* '''System administration''' of the platform installation
			* '''Development of integrations and/or extensions''' for the platform

			=== 6) What are the expected responsibilities? ===
			Responsibilities depend on the chosen platform, but typically include:

			* Administering and maintaining the platform (setup, configuration, updates, access/roles, monitoring)
			* Implementing integrations with other tools/services (APIs, automation, data sync)
			* Developing or customizing platform features (modules, plugins, extensions, workflows)

			=== 7) What is the expected time commitment? ===
			Time commitment is '''variable''', with an expectation to attend:

			* '''Two standup meetings per week'''
			* '''One mentorship meeting per week'''

			=== 8) How long does the program last? ===
			Duration is '''variable''' and based on mastery learning:

			* Participants “graduate” when they '''demonstrate mastery of required competencies''' for the relevant learning stack.

			=== 9) How are competencies determined? ===
			Competencies are based on research into what industry needs—specifically:

			* '''O*NET''' job research (U.S.-focused, because of its depth and rigor)
			* Agile development using the Flow of Play methodology, as well as learning Scrum, Kanban, etc.
			* EducateONE also emphasizes '''AI''', even where O*NET may not yet fully reflect it

			=== 10) What skills are desired? ===
			Skills vary by platform, but generally include:

			* General working knowledge of the chosen open source platform (how it’s used and administered)
			* Relevant programming experience aligned with that platform’s ecosystem (e.g., common languages/frameworks used to extend it)
			* Basic understanding of the platform’s database and data model (often SQL-based), plus how the platform stores and retrieves data

			=== 11) Is this a paid internship? ===
			No. There is:

			* '''No financial compensation'''
			* '''No cost to the intern''' This is framed as an equal trade of time: interns support EducateONE’s needs, and EducateONE provides mentorship toward certification/degree.

			=== 12) Is there any possibility of future paid work? ===
			Possibly, but not guaranteed.

			* As the organization grows and interns demonstrate skills beyond intern level, EducateONE will '''try''' to compensate specific projects where possible.

			=== 13) What does “graduation” mean in concrete terms? ===
			Competencies must be demonstrated, but:

			* There are '''not fully fixed, universal deliverables''' described yet
			* Demonstration methods can '''vary''' depending on the competency

			=== 14) Is there a documented pathway from graduation to formal recognition outside EducateONE? ===
			There is a '''strategy''' to pursue accreditation so the credential could become a recognized Master’s degree, but:

			* There are '''no guarantees''' of accreditation or external recognition.

			=== 15) Is there a documented pathway from graduation to paid project work? ===
			There are '''strategies''' intended to lead to paid work, but:

			* There are '''no guarantees''' of paid projects after graduation.

			=== 16) How competitive is the selection? ===
			It is competitive:

			* Multiple candidates may be contacted
			* There may be '''limited slots''' available for a given open source platform track
