Great to see this initiative, it seems like there is probably valuable work to be done in this area. I would make extra sure not to conflate “EA jobs” with “jobs at EA orgs” (not implying that you do conflate them). The latter just don’t have that much capacity in the medium-term.
In a way, it’s easier to offer specific training for skills that are needed by EA orgs, and maybe this is more tractable. But I’d also be very excited about programmes that equip many people with the resources they need to pursue high-impact careers outside of the few main EA orgs (whatever these resources are: skills? personality traits? money? cultural shift in the EA community?).
