So what you're saying is we've found a way to fund education without debt to students or taxes, and the school has an incentive to get you internships so that you graduate with work experience AND incentive to place you at the highest paying job after college?

Consider my interest piqued.

Read the admissions page. It's a well-connected trade school for gifted students entering the tech industry as defined by SV, not a scalable alternative and repeatable model for general-purpose higher ed.

edit: This isn't judgemental. Nothing wrong with trade school But that's what this is.

Yes, now it's a very specific, tough to get in trade school.

You might recall it was quite a luxury to have a mobile phone not too long ago.

Demand for this kind of education might persuade others to implement a similar model, and I don't see any major roadblocks for other areas.

Employers will finally get graduates with work experience, as well as access to cheap intern labor.

Looks worth exploring if nothing else.
