| =Training and Certification=
| |
| #Name of OSE Mentorship Candidate - __________ Official title is OSE Fellow.
| |
| #The training program is a direct mentorship relationship between the OSE Founder and the Candidate, that provides a curriculum of a weekly meeting, and a 20 hour work/study assignment for the Candidate each week to gain the technical competency in OSE operations. The program also includes a final project of the student's choice. The program also includes the ability to get certified by engaging hands-on in builds, teaching events, and workshops, where the student either does the work remotely or in a physical location. See [[OSE Skills Certification]]
| |
| #The weekly study can include but is not limited to:
| |
| ##designing, building, using, and developing an enterprise around GVCS machines,
| |
| ##3D printing
| |
| ##3D CAD design in FreeCAD
| |
| ##Microcontrollers, basic coding, and basic power electronics design
| |
| ##Plastic recycling infrastructure for making 3D printing filament
| |
| ##House and structure design for construction
| |
| ##Collaborative literacy for large-scale collaborative design and build projects
| |
| ##Machine design
| |
| ##CNC machine design
| |
| ##Tractors, Power Cubes, and heavy machinery for agriculture and construction
| |
| #The final project is up to the student's choosing, based on their interest
| |
| #Training period is assumed to be 2 years from August 13, 2020, at 20 hours of time requirement per week. The candidate may shift to a 1-year program if they can do 40 hours of time per week, to be decided at the beginning of Month 5.
| |
| #Optional: the Candidate can pursue formal certification of various skills from OSE. These are typically performance-based exams - where one either builds a machine, or does teaching or runs a workshop under realistic conditions. For example, STEAM Camp Certification Level 2 may be attained by running an actual STEAM camp, after serving as an assistant in another STEAM Camp. There is a number of skills certifications to choose from, see [[OSE Skills Certifications]]. The Candidate may choose whichever certifications that they like within the duration of the OSE Mentorship program, and may do so at any time throughout the program after learning the necessary skills.

Overview
The OSE Mentorship is as of 2020 a 1-2 year mentoring program hosted by the leadership of OSE. Candidates are trained to replicate OSE operations in this time frame in order to start an OSE Chapter in another location. The eventual track of chapters creation is towards building a network of OSE Campuses worldwide.
Intent - OSE Mentorship Agreement
The intent of the OSE Mentorship is to start long-term relationships with individuals interested in carrying the work of OSE forward, in close collaboration with OSE. However, to provide maximum flexibility - it is the candidate's choice as to how closely they work with OSE after the Mentorship. For the closest collaboration with OSE along OSE's roadmap to the completion of the GVCS by 2028, the OSE Chapter route can be followed. If a Fellow wants to start other projects, based on OSE technology but not along OSE's critical path - then the candidate can choose to work independently. In the case of independent operation, OSE provides the skills training via the Mentorship, and OSE can certify the candidate's skill set with its certification exams. The certification exams are independent from certification as an official OSE Chapter. In the independent operation route - the candidate cannot use OSE's brand without specific permission.
For the OSE-aligned route under the OSE brand - the OSE Mentorship can be followed by further negotiation of a formal Chapter agreement. A Chapter agreement can apply to any region of the world, and starts with local/regional chapters of OSE. There is currently no restriction on the locations of Chapters, as Chapters are driven primarily by interested stakeholders - who operate from their local base. The growth path with OSE may include the transition of local chapters to full Open Source Microfactories, and further growth to land-based OSE Campuses - at the regional, country, and international level. The collaborative goal of all the prospective Chapters for the near term (until 2028) is completion of the GVCS as a basis for replicating OSE Campuses worldwide.
There are 3 separate phases: Training, Skill Certification, and Chapter Charter or its dissolution. The Training and Certification is a prerequisite for a Chapter Charter. The phase of the OSE Mentorship involves the Training part, with skills certification as an optional part that is included in the Mentorship. Skills certification is pursuant to performance exams in building machines, teaching, and running workshops, to be defined specifically at a later date. Skill Certification measures one's ability to execute on OSE-based programs, and allows the candidate to run such programs - though not under the OSE brand. Only the Chapter Charter allows for operation under the OSE brand.
