Decades of research shows job training programs don't work at scale because of lack of *supply* of appropriate good jobs. There are always nice learned-to-code stories (I'm one: started coding as a kid and it literally saved my life) but those don't scale.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/us/mined-minds-west-virginia-coding.html …

In ed/training research, that's called creaming—taking only people who can make a very intense commitment, meaning they are already quite privileged and poised to make it anyway. And then you help them along and they do great. Of course. Which is nice, but very limited reach.

Bootcamp grad who's done pretty well here
and I couldn't agree more. I put in a lot of hard work but definitely came in with support/privilege that made it MUCH more likely I'd succeed. Which is why I don't often recommend the path to others. - Show replies

If it’s within the conversation regarding Appalachian case, government funds could have been used to provide sustenance budget. School doesn’t charge tuition and takes the risk with the student.

Yes, ideally, you have to actually pay people during the training period (if they had that much reserves and no issues attending intense training, they probably need you the least). Childcare or friendly hours also helps. Otherwise either creaming or setting up to fail.
