Online Code School Bloc Raises $2M For Web Development “Apprenticeship” Program
- jackgolding 13y agoFor me this is WAY too expensive, it costs more than a post graduate certificate from the University of Washington!
- malandrew 13y agoThey should offer and option where 2-4 apprentices are paired up with a mentor and split the costs. 2-4 is an optimal size for tutoring/apprenticeship. As an experienced developer would be more than happy to drop money for private 2-4 person courses on specialty subjects. i.e. 2x to 4x per week for three months on subjects like: machine learning distributed systems database design hardware product hacking and design devops etc. On top of that, I think there are many companies that would be happy to spend money to train their employees this way. It would be awesome if for example, you knew your startup had a need for machine learning stuff in the next few months. Just pay to train 2 of your employees with a mentor, where they go meet with the mentor 2-4 times per week in the evenings after work.
