I think the most important line of the article is:

"On its first run in 2016, Interapt had 800 applicants, accepted 50 and graduated 35."

Any strategy that posits IT and programming "insourcing" as a solution for the troubles of Middle America is going to have to have a strategy for the 750/800 people who don't have the chops to become a software engineer.

Isn't it more likely that they had a class limit of 50 and not that the 750 didn't have the chops to become a software engineer?

765 assuming the graduates all found jobs.
