Do we have any information on the possibility of landing a position out of Codesmith without any type of college degree? I am thinking about joining the part-time March cohort but I will have to rethink my decision if we have any data that shows it's rare to land a solid outcome

The data their CEO shared once about college degrees showed only a very tiny amount, something like a few percent of people, had no college experience. And that's not of people placed, but just all residents.
That doesn't mean it's impossible because that still dozens of people and some get great jobs, but it is an uphill battle.
At the same time, getting a quick degree like WGU likely isn't the entire answer as well. The answer is that it will probably take 2 years of many things.and a lot of grinding and a lot of failures, not just one thing, that will eventually get you a job.
