One of the core goals of OSE is to create a transparent and collaborative process for open economic development. We are developing the Global Village Construction Set and Distributive Enterprise. We are looking for independently-driven individuals capable of initiative, competent in their proposed program, and with a demonstrated track record of delivering on their promises.

We have an open interview process which involves our applicants, our core team, and the rest of the world. To do this, we begin with a preliminary application that includes a Video of Interest. The goal of this process is involve applicants immediately in our culture of transparency and collaboration.
