Plan + seed 10,000 technical training pipelines targeting at rural/appalachia/middle america/southwest teens/20 somethings that would've previously taken CTE/automotive/blue collar type life paths - includes ex-prisoners.

Program Characteristics are:
- 2 year track - Software (Code foundations + Solo/Team Full stack Project focused curricula with an emphasis on AI tool utilization) + Hardware (Machining, manufacturing, Engineering Fundamentals) generalist program 
- 1 year extension option in specific functional areas - security, critical language study, likely driven by needs of the local area 
- Every program feeds directly into technical roles in existing local companies or nearby cities.

So many reasons, but the biggest are: 
- Modern techl talent is aggressively concentrated on the coasts (specifically NYC/SF) which leads to a startupland hyperfixation on a small subset of problems that don't help most americans (consumer social), hyperfinancialization, and a B2B SAAS that either creates tools to sell to other startups or re-entrenches existing F100 companies and ignores any real, no shit problems that aren't "venture scale"

- Technical + product talent drought outside of the coasts means chicken + egg problem for anyone good enough to compete with coast talent but doesn't want to leave their current ecosystem (like Ohio or w/e) so local companies can't really win even if their idea is spot on

- Hardware + Software dual competency is underrated frontier of new class of interesting + useful problems imo (maybe @july can concur)

- Most americans have been left out of this massive wealth transfer bc all of it is driven by investors and founders who all come from the same 20 universities
