OSE Apprenticeship Model

Questions

1. How do we address the exciting aspect of problem-solving and design for making a better world if people can be paid only for building homes (according to current snapshot)?
   1. Solutions:
2. Do we position as Apprenticeship or Fellowship?

Distinctions and Scope

• Apprenticeship is about building. Not easy to position as 'civilization building' because that is not readily apparent. Solution: raise the bar to distinctions of how we build to make a ready case. Such as: PV on every home. Zero energy house. Aquaponic Greenhouse Business Model, Hydrogen Filling Station added - along with automated heavy machines - along with 3D printing - and we are in business.
• Fellowship is about designing a new civilization.

Apprenticeship Requirements

• Lifelong learning
• Design, build, enterprise teaching for solving pressing world issues
• Serious learning curve takes time, such as 4 years even if RLF and LTL is applied.

Fellowship Requirement

• Same as above, except the target audience is a progressive problemsolver.
• Getting excited about 'leveling the playing field', 'rigorous discipline and skill set', 'high performance and willing to do what it takes to get there'

Issues

• Apprenticeship takes you to being a builder.
• 'We did it so you can do it' for enterprise is dubious. This is for outliers, not the masses in the usual sense. Genius of And: it is possible if the quality of our program is sufficient.
