It's generally high because it's the easiest way to juice the outcomes. If people who are weaker leave, the best people graduate and placement rates are only based on people who graduate.
Bloomtech has a 50% or so graduation rate and a 90% placement rate of people who graduate.
TripleTen doesn't publish a placement rate but has a 87% placement rate.
Codesmith is one of the stronger programs that has like a 95% graduation rate and 80% placement rate.
It's important to factor both in because your odds of getting a job from day one are the odds of graduation times the placement rate and not the placement rate alone!

If triple ten doesn't publish their placement rates, then how did you come to the 87% placement rate. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just curious in the methodology for how you determined it or if it's a typo.
Based on how other sentences are structured, I think you meant that t

Yeah edited I meant they don't publish a graduation rate.
For online remote self-paced programs, the graduation rate is much lower than a huge commitment immersive type program.
Bloomtech is a great example because they used to be more fixed and had like a 70% graduation rate and as they moved more self-paced online remote it dropped tol like 50%. Not a bad thing necessarily because the program changed. but I think it's important to know that if you sign up for a program, your odds of getting a great job or not 87% or 90%. they are like half of that at Bloomtech.
