There’s so much you can do if you’re actually teaching people rather than selling prestige. Easy to build out referral network, easy to funnel the students towards an incubator you support, easy to hire students directly to build out new things, etc.

Companies pay machining interns from my community college so they can offer full time positions to students who know their stuff. We do similar stuff with engineering students and paid internships. I’m surprised that the practice isn’t more widespread.
