Recruiting Process

The Factor e Home Team will lead the recruitment effort.

Basic skills required for participants in the Build a Village Project, and the Open Source Fab Lab are:

  1. Ability to perform research on the internet
  2. Technical literacy regarding how things work, or willingness to learn such literacy
  3. Ability to solve problems
  4. Willingness to learn new tasks of all type
  5. Ability to learn new computer software
  6. Willingness to use workshop tools
  7. Ability to take responsibility for one's living environment
  8. Ability to get along with others and cooperate to common goals
  9. Ability to analyze and integrate information towards practical results


Looking for Integrated Humans

Why our general emphasis on Integrated Humans? We found that specialists lack the broad perspective required to build the world's first, replicable, post-industrial village - the goal of Factor e Farm.

FAQ

  • What skills should the person have? Generalist skills, independent thinking, and problemsolving skills are required.
  • What is the general development process? See a description of the Open Source Fab Lab. All tools are yet to be developed, to the general specifications noted. At present, the Torch Table is in progress. Check OS Fab Lab status for updates.

- What will the person be doing... or what could they be doing? In addition, what is the hoped for final outcome of their work? - How long would they stay? - How will the financial parts work out (e.g. room, board)? - Where will they live? - How much support/autonomy will they have?
