The work required for passing programming interviews is rote practice of solving problems for which you cannot immediately think of a solution. There's already hundreds of resources available to do this. Top-coder, practice-it, project euler, coding interview books, etc. etc. Teaching negotiation and soft skills are probably more valuable for the general programming population.
