Sorry if you've seen this 'topic' before.
Why no personal access to Maya or 3ds max with appropriate license restrictions.
Both well recognised as the paths to illuminating the masses (would mention 'Blender' if it wasn't so free).
There is a lot of talent out there that seems to slip on by because their education department "can barely afford the upkeep of the building that they attend for educational training" or any other moan you want to put..their life paths just don't walk the same streets..etc. That includes 'inclusion, exclusion and the upcoming 'clusification'.
Surely it is better to introduce the future to a learning path that benefits all, that they grow up listening to peers talking about how great they are with Maya(software), sharing their recent 'you can do this too', than to wait in the hope that they might just wander this way?
PS, I could have most probably posted this in the wrong place and I did look for duplicates.
