I'm a man who was brought up in a home where I didn't gain any career advantages from my family or any connections they may have had. I've seen most of my peers at university gain entrance into their first career or internship based on such advantages, either directly or through their education at home.
There are many men who receive these advantages. There are certainly many women who receive them too. It might be the case that these advantages are chanelled more toward male children due to the prejudices of their parents, but I don't know. Nevertheless, anyone like this will have an easy time starting their career even without making use of a camp like this.
I have the feeling that camps like the one in this post will mostly be taken advantage of by the already advantaged few, and unfortunately most of its possible benefits won't be realised.
