Google’s director of education and university relations Maggie Johnson thinks that most graduates from programming schools are not quite prepared for software engineering roles at Google without additional training or previous programming roles in the industry, Business Insider writes.

It is common that the people who want to work in technology as a programmer often go to a coding bootcamp.

These are short programs which take people with minimal coding knowledge, and a few months later, they emerge from the school as employable software engineers.

It’s normal, but not in a case of Google, which doesn't see a coding school background as a positive.

To be fair, even college graduates who majored in computer science require some practice in their careers. But graduates from four-year colleges generally have a better grasp of coding concepts, Bloomberg reports.

Bloomberg highlights there are schools that charge $14,400 for a 14-week program. They can be worth it if you get a high-paying technology job at the end of the process. Some people certainly have success with coding schools, but the problem is that there isn't very much regulation to tell prospective students which coding schools are worth the time and expense. And that, in turn, could lead big companies like Google to find it's not worthwhile to narrow down which coding bootcamps are producing students with quality skills.
