Most of the groups follow the CIRR model. But, I wasn’t there to verify the details. I saw celebration posts go out on their slack channels and such, spoke to some employers, focused on the efficacy of the programs.

The CIRR model is full of holes. One of the directors on their website already stepped down recently and I have no idea who is running it. They don't respond to emails asking where the audited copies of their reports are - because they are missing.
The CIRR model covers up terrible results.
Look at recent ones, about 50% of placements didn't report their salaries and that number used to be like 90%.
They change the placement window from 180 days to 360 days.
So a program that had a 80% placement (90% of people responding) in 180 days that is now a 70% placement (50% of people responding) in 360 days....
Yet the website has a giant 70% not much worse than 2022, everything it fine!
It's not fine, not at all.
