The WOS Difference

WOS is uniquely different from all other Outsource services organizations.

  • Rigorous Selection Process. WOS conducts an intensive six–week pre–certification course to find students with the highest potential for success in the program. Only the top performers are selected to continue in the training program to become WOS Consultants.
  • Tailored Curriculum & Professional Instruction. The WOS certification program is built in partnership with respected Universities and our clients. This provides tremendous value and flexibility for our clients – at no additional cost. No other provider offers this type of customization.
  • Mentoring. WOS stays involved with the WOS Consultants throughout the process. This ongoing training, mentoring and management relieves the client of much of the responsibility and workload.
  • Career Paths. WOS is a non–profit organization with a mission to provide opportunity and "ladders of ascent" to our students. We strive to give these young adults in underserved populations every opportunity for lifelong professional and personal success.
