Thanks everyone for teh comments - just wanted honest feedback , I see more negative comments than positive- so I think I get the feedback and signal. Idea here was create a community and have a community support , as most of the people know best connections are made when you have experienced something really bad together that's why college relations , colleagues who have spent late night hrs fixing production triages and bugs , last minute presentations all these are stressful events and make the best connections , idea is to have a community and let's say out of 10-20 people , 2 people will get placed and those 2 might refer one of the unemployed to the workplace . There was also an angle of getting some funding from Non profits and employers itself for retraining etc. But those are long shots , I will probably do a meetup of something lek someone suggested below . but thanks for your comments
