not only that, if they are catering the program to the sponsor companies, what this also means is that the sponsor company is offloading a lot of their onboarding and training (smart because it can take 1-2 months for the company to properly train you on their system and process - very smart on the sponsor company).

So really the education in this is you're paying to be trained to work at a company which typically works the other way, company hires you and pays you a salary while they train you.

This is pretty genius on the hiring company's part, massive savings.

At the end of the program you might be pigeon holed as your skill sets may somewhat be very specific to these companies.

The hardest part of any job search is landing the interview which is why the resume is key. Unless you know someone at the company that can fast track your resume, you need to have a stellar resume to be able to land that interview.

Agree, I'm on the hiring end. Before the 20-30 resumes that hit my email HR screened a bunch of them. We get hundreds of applicants. I know for a fact that HR doesn't sit through each and everyone manually. and not to mention what I'm looking for in a resume, HR always interprets it differently.

​

Getting past that HR hurdle and then making your resume pop with the hiring manager goes a long way to getting you an interview.

not defending this program but deferment on student loans, you don't just stop paying, the interest still accrues.

no not at all.

Most people don't have that luxury, bills to pay, take a job regardless if you know people. I'm a bit of a loner so i don't mind going to places where I don't know anyone.
