How about some love for https://www.microverse.org/ the Lambda School for the rest of the world? $15k ISA and life changing jobs for aspiring developers in developing countries.
This gives me a great sense of hope that many entrepreneurs are working towards a successful collaboration between education and industry! So important to ensure the prosperity of our workforce and the development of skills necessary to solve future challenges. The sense of community within CBCs is not only great for future networking but a great extrinsic motivator for follow through and accountability (unlike self learning programs which require much more intrinsic motivation and self strategizing). Very insightful!
Acadium trains more digital marketers using an apprenticeship model than any other organization, for free. Have you considered adding them to this list?
Great write up Jeff. I share similar sentiment in regard to a broken education system and feel its ripe for alternative platforms. Do you have any thoughts on Coursera?
Thank you Scott! It is certainly ripe. Now, let's see what amazing entrepreneurs come up with! In re: to Coursera, they are great! I think MOOCs are a great option. Udemy, etc. are awesome as well. The eight above were some of the best new angles I have seen, but I definitely think MOOCs were an awesome unlock.

Hey Jeff

Hi Moe! Thank you for the tip. I have not read up on Acadium, but it sounds like I should. The eight above are definitely not an exhaustive list!

Such great content Jeff. I am starting to do something similar to you and would love to connect if your schedule permits.
Would love to chat! Feel free to DM on Twitter if that works!
Awesome, thanks Jeff! Just DM'd - can't wait!
