In support of the White House and President Obama's TechHire initiative, Wyncode and nine other coding schools announced the formation of a new trade organization called the New Economy Skills Training Association (NESTA). Joining Wyncode in the endeavor are: App Academy, Dev Bootcamp, Flatiron School, General Assembly, Galvanize, Hackbright Academy, Hack Reactor, MakerSquare and Turing School.
NESTA's mission is to establish best practices, standards, and increase accountability for outcome-based NESTA organizations. Their first initiative is to develop and agree on a standardized outcomes reporting methodology.
As part of their commitment, NESTA wrote a letter to President Obama outlining its commitment to publish outcomes on an annual basis and have them verified by third-party CPAs.
