Are there any candidates that come in already with programming jobs who want to diversify or enhance their existing skill for their current or future roles?
Occasionally, yes, though I'd say that 2% of accepted students because people already in the industry have the skills to learn what is needed switch over from say back to front end, or apps to webapps, etc.
Typically these students learn a great deal of soft skills and pair-programming skills while they're here, so I think it's still valuable.
