Yes! This is one of the initiatives we are considering going forward. We’d like to be even more inclusive and would love to find opportunities to work with different kinds of technology bootcamps, with transparent standards so students can feel they’re making an informed choice.

From the interview prep company point of view, like Pathrise, Formation, Interview Kickstart, these places aren't schools and aren't 'education' and I can't see why they would join CIRR (personal opinion)
It might end up bing a waste of time to come up with a standard you think will work for these companies by observing from the outside without getting to know how they work first.
I know for Formation, it would be like making a standard for Personal Trainers for how good they are at being a personal trainer based on analyzing all of their clients. Some people are overweight and want to just lose weight. Some people are in good shape and want to get ripped. Some people want to get skinny. Some people want to run a marathon. Some people want to be a sprinter. Some people are recovering form injuries.
Like weight lost, muscle gained all misleading metrics. Some people want to lose weight and some want to gain weight. Some want to lose muscle, some gain muscle.
Maybe come up with a universal fitness test? And have people do it before and after? People goals would need to be quantified, locked in, and then measured against.
With CIRR right now, there is one goal - placed or not placed. With interview prep there are dozens of goals and some not quantifyable.
Maybe doing a universal satisfaction survey?
But at that point, is that even is CIRR's charger anymore and why? Just focus on the charter and the bootcamp industry no?
