The trick here is the required 2000$ deposit upon obtaining a reserved spot in the course. This 2000$ is refunded (with fees deducted, I would guess) 6 months after the end of the course if no job offers were made to you.

I'm guessing that receiving a 40k/yr offer from a small-town business on the other side of the country means they clap their hands and claim their prize. Of course they want you to have the biggest salary you/they can find within 6 months, but other than that, location and conditions and other factors are irrelevant. If that's all they can find for you, they'll take it, and from what I could tell of the fine print you either take it too or pay the remaining 10800$ in full immediately.
