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.
  1. Producing a professional promo video -

Broadening Audience

  1. Start locally. Promote to the local high school and area.
  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
