I don't know what "support" means but.I can list out what I've seen people do. Codemsith adamantly claims to not help people lie so I assume they'd re not helping with most of this but it's possible they are and that is "support" 1. Stretch things, turning fast food-like jobs into technical jobs 2. Go back to school 3. Work at Codemsith itself, either as an instructor or another role 4. Be a fellow and stretch the length of time on that 5. Do unpaid internships or contracts that aren't documented as placements I told they can neither convert or get another job 6. Work on projects independent of Codemsith 7. Do another paid program afterwards, like an interview prep or career accelerator 8. Follow Codemsith networking advice Codemsith will help any time with career support conversations so they offer those to all these people, but there isn't anything tangible that they do specifically for people with zero work experience. I mean I don't expect them to hand you a job so this isn't meant as criticism, I'm just making the argument they don't have any magic way of helping people with truly zero work experience that's different from what anyone else gets.
