As a Director of a coding bootcamp operating out of a co-working facility, this looks exciting for WeWork. We had considered WeWork for a campus now that there are two planned in Houston. It's still an option for us moving forward (heh, or maybe not with this news?) but cost and timing has stopped us from pulling the trigger up until now. TBH, a vast majority of our students find their employment with companies outside of the co-working space. It's value to our students and school has had more to do with offering a collaborative and exciting environment to the students as well as affording our school more flexibility regarding classroom spaces/sizes and basically allowing us to keep costs down versus building out our own space. The service layer of a co-working building (cleaning, kitchen, IT, and so on) are invaluable for smaller organizations like ours. It will be interesting to see if WeWork uses this as an added service for it's members - in which case, it will need to be very flexible in it's curriculum to match it's course to the needs of members across a huge number of facilities. Or, if it keep more of the Flatiron approach and attracts students outside of WeWork - and how that works with things like fees, parking costs, membership, and if they meet member hiring needs.
