OSE Recruiting

Narrative

Do you want to become a civilization builder, and solve pressing world issues for a living? Welcome to the world of rapid, integrated learning. In the first year, you learn to build the Seed Eco-Home - not one trade but 17 trades that allow you to build a complete house - our Seed Eco-Home. We run a 4x10 scheudule, and one day is school time for movement entrepreneurship. If you make it through the first year, we will hire you at a pay scale that would normally take 10 years for an average master carpenter to achieve.

What are we doing here? We are developing a bootstrap funding mechanism for lifelong learning for world transformation. We believe in the Housing Theory of Everything - ie, housing is a very important sector to get right - as a multitrillion dollar global market.

If you are considering tech school as you may not be sure you want to go to college and work in a cubicle - consider our alternative.

The only requirement is that you want to become excellent - by learning the Art of Possibility
