OSE Apprenticeship Exam
About
OSE focuses on meritocracy, in that people undisputedly advance based on skill, as opposed to authoritarian loyalty or nepotism. Merit-based advancement is just and a sound design for a world that works. At OSE, we are proactive in our approach to upward mobility. Simply put - tell me what you want to get paid, back that up with learning to generate the required skill set, and OSE will accommodate. For people who want to defect, we cultivate collaborative culture first so that defection is minimal - and we provide support for startup as potential collaborators. So that even defectors have space to contribute to truly open development, including upon retirement if they are in a position to donate knowhow to the public domain. The caveat is, unless a defector is working openly, they can only contribute so much to open development simply because most knowhow may get lost as tacit knowledge. One of the features of open development is turning tacit knowhow into openly replicable best practice.
From Apprentice to Fellow
OSE Apprentices can advance on to the OSE Fellowship track upon proving both build skill, grit, and character. Basics of performance involve:
- 90+% score in technical building.
- Character development from low microasshole level to exceptional score (90%+) on the asshole exam. See Candidate Assessment
