The teddy bear was named after Theodore Roosevelt (The president of the USA), after saving a baby bear during a hunting expedition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_bear)
"Saving" makes it sound like the bear survived, which is not what actually happened:
> A suite of Roosevelt's attendants, led by Holt Collier, cornered, clubbed, and tied an American black bear to a willow tree after a long exhausting chase with hounds. They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested that he shoot it [...] Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this unsportsmanlike, but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery
We're working on a way to focus programs by geography! Currently we have 25+ programs live; I've just listed some of our ones with a direct UK alignment here:
Oh wow that's so cool! I didn't know anyone was doing the model end-to-end like that in India - there's alot of improvements to employment to be had with this mindset I think.
Wow we didn't even know this happened! That's great to hear!
If you ever do want to switch careers and trade code for contracts you should give it a go haha! If anything working on these programs gave me a better appreciation of the jobs and tasks of other careers.
That's a great question! Feedback from employers about graduates have always been around new graduates and hires not being 'work ready' - and we've found many colleges aren't flexible enough to solve this problem quickly.
So our solution was why not give that training that makes everyone 'work ready' accessible to the world? That way when people do hire, they won't have that complaint anymore and people will know if they'd like the actual job itself!
Thanks for that feedback! One of the reasons we settled on an online course system is because they allow anyone, including international students on visas or students from other countries, to have a chance to upskill with these big firms.
We do take your point though about slightly different outcomes for people in different regions. We'll look to make that messaging clearer!
Thanks for the kind words abhinuvpitale! Yes, this is exactly what we found - there's an irrelevance to some hiring processes because they tend to ask obsolete or academic questions.
One problem with asking pragmatic questions is that not everyone has had a chance to do practical work - hence why we also tackled that problem with an educational lens too.
