Module 1 focuses on what a Subject Matter Expert with lived experience is, what to consider when thinking about becoming an SME, different ways SMEs can get/be involved in the Human Trafficking/Exploitation movement, and how to start being an SME in healthy ways. We hope that all the information, tools, and resources provided in this training will help prepare you to decide whether or not you want to become an SME.
This module will discuss fair compensation, boundaries, expectations, and contract negotiations. First, a business contract for your services is essential to understand the agency/organization fees and payment terms, project deliverables, cancellation clauses, and any other expectations or conditions you want to communicate. This module will provide essential terms, information, and templates to help with this critical step of being an SME as an independent contractor.
To receive a certificate of completion for this training series, you must complete all 3 modules, module evaluations, and training feedback. A certificate of completion will be emailed once you have completed these steps.
