- flavio81 9y agoHere in Peru we have a famous one, "Laboratoria". I think they were featured by Y-combinator once. They are able to give young, financially-troubled women an education that usually lands them a good job afterwards. So it seems it's a success. Disclaimer: My friends work there, so i'm a bit biased...
- jcotillo 9y agoLABORATORIA LOOKS AMAZING! SO proud to be a Peruvian web dev (in SF) and to see that happening in Latin American :D
- markdavis33 9y agoI run product at Fullstack Academy (parent school of Grace Hopper, www.gracehopper.com) and can say that the students who come through GH are some of the most talented and motivated students we see. The all-female environment is special. It's a "safe" and nurturing environment, as the students work together through a <very> rigorous program. And the hiring outcomes (180 days+ after graduation) are positive: https://cloud.fullstackacademy.com/immersive-hiring-outcomes.pdf https://cloud.fullstackacademy.com/immersive-hiring-outcomes...
