Sign. Learn. Choose. Own.

Two years, from a first conversation to Ownership Day.

  1. SignBefore day one

    We meet every host and every apprentice in person, then propose a match. They meet twice, and either can say no. Then host, apprentice and Omose all sign one contract.

  2. LearnFrom day one

    The apprentice starts as an employee at the going rate and works towards a recognised qualification. They also learn what most employees never see: pricing, customers, suppliers and where the money goes.

  3. ChooseMonth 12

    Their own company, a branch or a staged stake. The terms were agreed before day one. Now one is chosen.

  4. OwnMonth 24

    Once the final assessment is done, the fund is released and the ownership is recorded. The apprentice is now an owner.

Then: within three years, each new owner hosts an apprentice of their own.

One screen. Both sides.

The host and the apprentice see the same progress and the same fund balance. Try it with our example pair.

Dayo and Tom. Joinery, Salford. An example pair, not real people.

Money is where these deals break. So we moved the money.

The host pays into the Ownership Fund every month, from day one. It is held away from the host's business and away from Omose, and both sides see the balance. On Ownership Day it is released as the contract says.

Who pays for what.

Omose owns none of the businesses. It is paid for running the system.

The host
Wages at the going rate, the monthly fund payment and Omose’s fees. There is no monthly fee to Omose.
The government
Training through a registered provider, under its rules. Those rules are most generous for apprentices under 25.
Public funders
May pay Omose for results, like people still in work.
The apprentice
Nothing to apply or take part.

Others do part of this. Nobody does the whole loop.

  • A standard apprenticeship ends in a qualification.
  • An employee ownership trust belongs to all the staff together.
  • A corporate partner scheme stays inside one brand, and is mostly for qualified staff who buy in.
  • A start-up loan has to be repaid, and it doesn’t teach you the business.

Omose puts the job, the training, the money and the ownership in one contract, signed before day one.

Ready when you are.

It takes about five minutes to get in touch. Nothing commits you.
