One of the benefits of RailsSchool is that we help people gain the skills to get programming jobs, so I think we should highlight this (both in terms of highlighting former students who are now successful programmers as well as helping with relevant job postings).

One of our sponsors in cville has a relevant job posting ( https://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/97560/software-developer-ruby-on-rails-elearning-scitent-inc ) - I could put this into a course description, but it feels like we should have a better place to put these.

What are your thoughts?

I posted the job and I'm open to any way that you want to share it with participants.

I'm acting on my own experience in running meetups. I love to build community first and build teams out of the community second. As a meetup organizer, I've repeatedly been hit by recruiters, and I've always told them to sponsor a meetup and to show up. Of the more than dozen who've inquired, only 1 has taken me up on that in the meetups I've run and it was a great resource.

I am the mentioned RailsSchool sponsor in this case. I value letting attendees know of real opportunities, much in the way that Stack Overflow Careers requires recruiters to use actual job listings and not blanket representation requests. I can offer free career counseling (example talk here) in addition to specific jobs.

RailsSchool is great for Charlottesville and I'd like to participate in career and professional development.

I don't object to job ads, but would also like us to continue to push our sponsors and potential sponsors to host and teach classes.

I think this is ready to be merged. Can I get a +1? cc/ @gkop

Sorry for the last minute change, but I've moved away from StackOverflow careers for this posting. The reference link is now http://smrtr.io/69le4A -- thank you!

Cool, +1 !
