80% of our focus group would be likely to choose virtual Code2College programming
On a scale of 1-5, how connected did you feel to Code2College instructors and other students?
In July 2021 as we were analyzing the results of the survey, we asked a group of 5 of the respondents some follow up questions. We hadn't directly asked whether students would choose to attend future Code2College classes in-person or virtually, so we brought that question to the group. Their answers were a surprise beyond even our most optimistic expectations. 80% said they would choose virtual programming for reasons ranging from transportation issues to social comfort. Turning back to the survey data, where 69% of the students rated their connection with instructors and other students a 4 or 5 out of 5, we found plenty to suggest that the wider group may share their preference.

While Code2College's tech and college prep focus may be a factor in the positive reaction, we believe this could have implications for a range of wraparound programs with feasible virtual options.
