Why don’t any coding bootcamps have employer-paid placement fee model instead of student funded models?

1. [Guantlet.ai](http://Guantlet.ai) is trying this in the new AI world 2. Main reason for SWE is supply and demand - not enough demand for junior engineers and it's cheaper for companies to go to MIT and Stanford 3. During the better times, tons of companies did this in various forms to try to open top of funnel to more diverse sources they didn't have the resources to explore themselves. But since DEI is dead at big companies no one is doing that either anymore. So yeah all of those things. When you see the world "Partnership" on a website it's bullshit marketing fluff. There's are a few bootcamps that call every company it has an alumni at a "partner".

lol 😆 not sure if I would trust Allred with anything really, but the idea is still a good one! Questions: 1. Would this work for helping mid level and senior devs upskill, especially after being laid off/terminated from a previous job? 2. I don’t think that DEI is dead yet,

I wouldn't trust him to watch my dog for 2 hours, he would probably sell it and replace it with a stray dog and convince me it's mine.
