I don't think Udacity would risk their reputation (and class-action lawsuits) lying about this. But let's dig in further.
Udacity is the latest online school to launch a program with guaranteed job placement:
Also, let's look at their definition of a "job":
"Udacity will help you find a job (as defined in the program Terms and Conditions) at a partner company, land you a paying internship, or secure for you the opportunity to make money through Udacity’s global mentorship or freelancing programs."
It's worth noting that if you wanted a job freelancing, you could probably take whatever coding skills you happen to have now, go to Upwork, and get one today. And "global mentorship" sounds like you're just going to be helping other Udacity students work through their nanodegree program.
