Wow. This is a very cool opportunity for disadvantaged New Yorkers who'd love to break into tech or even just to bolster their skills.

Unlike normal Codesmith, it's a government requirement that people have "Limited or no prior experience with the basics of coding" so that is somewhat limiting for Codesmith's community I think.
Like Codesmith clearly advertises that CSX is all you need for a junior engineering job and that Codesmith is for midlevel and senior jobs.
So anyone who has done CSX likely has too much coding experience to join this program.
