There are several large tech companies including Google and Amazon who have done exactly the same thing in Romania and other central European countries. They help form the curriculum for what they need and then hire the graduates. Pretty much solves their on the job training learning curve.
We have a similar program with Purdue. I have two recent Purdue grads working for me now.
But its a fight to get colleges to do that. We are working with Clemson and Virginia Tech, we have state funding to support it, a request by the governor to the schools to act on it and the backing of the largest employer in the state - and those schools still won't work with us developing a curriculum. They are very particular about letting people come in and setup shop on their site I guess.
Its become so frustrating we've reached out to an NAIA school to work with us.
