#Name of OSE Mentorship Candidate - __________ Official title is OSE Fellow.
*Add official start date to agreement as the first weekly Working Meeting.
#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:
*Add terms of leave - if leave occurs for some time - we simply come back to where we left off.
##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.
