Yup, companies like Accenture have been doing new hire "training" programs for well over a decade. It's a great way for young college grads who didn't go to one of the elite schools that the Googles of SV recruit from to get over the "Jr. Engineer with 3 years experience" hurdle.

Yeah, it's frustrating how the narrative is that where you got your degree doesn't matter when it absolutely does.
