We are designing a method for recruiting 24 candidates to the OSE Apprenticeship over a short period of 3 months. Normally, recruiting for a significant program may take much longer, so to recruit successfully on a much shorter scale, we are taking the following steps to widen reach. This has costs of approximately $250k involved with this program, but can be crowdfunded in many ways as the list implie:

Tuition Funding

  1. Offering full scholarships to exceptional candidates. Each year's tuition costs approximately $15k, so this can take significant funding. If the organizer is interested in an aggressive campaign, this can cost $60k per student. Perhaps a reasonable option is providing full tuition for 4 exceptional candidates.
  2. Promoting 0% Kiva Microloans to entrepreneurs, up to $15k and 3 year term - meaning apprenticeship participants can pay as they go. This is just another way for students to pay their way.
  3. OSE sets up a crowdsourced tuition fund - chip in to support 50% tuition for one (or more) candidates

Broadening Audience

  1. Start locally. Promote to the local high school and area. Start making noise in local tech school fairs.
  2. Diversify to include a 'Tech School' option as opposed to 'save the world option' - but without eliminating the lifelong learning aspect. Include a 'Tech School Track'
  3. Develop programs for veterans. OSE is already partly connected, and this is a great opportunity for additional funding - such as GI Bill for OJT (on-job training), VRRAP, VR&E, Non-paid Work Experience Training, etc..
  4. Promote an international audience. While the program can accept candidates globally. F1 visas allow 20 hours of work-study, which fits our program well. While challenging to obtain, this is an option. Canada and Bermuda are exempt [1]. T
