30,003 PointsTreehouse Job Placement Program
Hello everyone! I was simply curious if treehouse is still doing its job placement program or plans to again shortly? I myself am not 100% ready yet, but it seemed like such a great idea and value to both treehouse students an treehouse's credibility!
Also, what will you do to prepare for a job after studying at treehouse? I've been in a bit of a productive programming slump for the past month, but after/during the rest of the ruby courses I plan on building some personal web apps such as blogging platform to use on my portfolio. I also plan on finding as many projects to helpfully contribute as I can on github.
If you have any great tips or advice I would love to hear them!

Courses Plus Student 1,865 PointsGiving this post was made 4 years ago, and I commented in it 2. I doubt this will.
Tree house was/is a good platform to learn. But the reason why I stop using them is they virtually don't help in getting a job. They basically say, here is the skill now get the job. Maybe here is some badges and other things that goes with it to "show" you know how to do something. It's sad, because otherwise I would've easily refer people to this if they went out of their way to help people get jobs. Even more remote jobs.
(Many companies when they want remote workers they are looking for team players and people who done it before. If you never worked in a team or worked remote while in a team. Then for the most part you're screwed. This site could easily match people who opt in into a group. The site would give each person a task, and they can work on a handful of real projects. In return, Treehouse would be able to show the world these people can work in a team remote, get things done on time, and so on. Also the people in the group/s most likely wouldn't stop talking/helping out each other afterwards.)
I have a feeling this hint will fall on deaf ears sadly. Again, if they tried to help people in getting a job beyond showing them how to code & what not. Hands down I would refer them over places like free code camp which is free. Like it's harder to learn stuff there. But at the end of the day you get the same thing.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 14,156 PointsI agree with everything you said. I completed the Front-End Techdegree last year and that hasn't helped me get a job in any way. I don't even bother putting the badge on anything anymore.
I've been looking into the Full Stack or Python Techdegree on here so I have a course that is more structured that what I've been doing the last year, but I'm not sure I went to spend more money on TTH.
RMOTR is my other option, I'm enrolled in the course starting June 4th and still debating whether or not I am going to do it.
