figure out how to assess existing programs for quality #7

I've heard grumblings from employees that the Enova apprenticeship is starting to fall apart. Truth be told, I'm not sure how to tell whether a program is ongoing when the company

  1. Continues to advertise it because it's great for their image, but
  2. Sometimes drags their feet for an indeterminate amount of time

JellyVision had a program, but I can't tell if it's ongoing and add them, because Dan Rumney hasn't really been forthcoming with details.

What we need:

  1. Some external measure of quality that we can look at, such as Glassdoor or FairyGodBoss. Is there some way to meaningfully extract which companies are just frat-house offices full of dudebros? Or which are exploiting their apprentices?
  2. A hard line on the reasons to exclude a program.
