Briefing for new Ciena Partners to be held on Thursday 15 February

I have had a few inquiries from partners about offering the Skinny Jump Ciena plan to their communities – remember this gives families with school-aged children free access to the internet for the rest of this year. I have scheduled a briefing for these prospective new partners for Thursday 15 February at 11am. You can sign up here.

Existing partners are welcome to join in as well if they would like a refresher on Ciena. 38% of our partners have signed up less than 5 families during the last 12 months, so I can understand if our processes are a bit fuzzy.

The most important thing to remember is that a Skinny Jump Profile Form must be completed for all Ciena sign ups, whether a new modem is being issued or whether a family is transferring from a standard pre-pay Jump connection. The form initiates the modem provisioning process. And of course we do need a scanned or photographed copy of the Ciena Jump for Students Fund referral form.

Existing partners should receive the new pad of referral forms (with 31 December 2024 as the end date) today or tomorrow. We will send a pad of these forms to any new partners after the Thursday briefing.

  1. Hi Laurence

    Nuts!!! I’ve been away and have only just seen the email regarding the CIENA briefing that was held this morning. We’re definitely interested in this initiative. What’s the best way to find out more now?
