"Learn to code?" Wait a minute. I had it on good authority that phrase was an insult, and part an organized campaign of abuse which would get one banned from social media.
Snark aside, this program sounds like a great product to fill a need in the market.
From David Nicklaus at the St. Louis PD: "Ola Ayeni, Claim Academy’s founder, says 93 percent of his 300-plus graduates have found programming jobs paying an average of $63,000. That’s above the 80 percent placement rate that Course Report, a website that tracks the industry, estimates for 108 U.S. coding boot camps that graduated around 20,000 people last year...
Ayeni thinks he can increase enrollment to meet that demand. The Veterans Administration recently approved Claim Academy for funding under the GI Bill, and the school plans to open branch campuses on some military bases next year.
St. Louis has another, better-known coding program called LaunchCode, a nonprofit group that provides basic classes and places people in apprenticeships. Claim Academy is a for-profit school that offers much more intensive instruction."
