President Elect Trump should propose the following challenge to Silicon Valley companies
Build code schools in the rust belt and teach those who have lost jobs how to code. In fact pay them to learn and you will get tax credits.
For everyone of those coders you teach and hire, you will get another tax credit.
Considering the absurd cost of developers, or hell even marketers in the valley, late stage startups about to go public or be sold would jump on this chance to reduce costs and make the books look better. America would get a boost from fresh coders/developers/analysts/product managers
Coding is more than teaching a single skill....the base education must be there.....
It’s not like teaching welding.....
Most of the adults that would need re-training in the rust belt would require several years of training to be an effective programmer.....
Better to bring manufacturing and their jobs back to help them.....
There is no demand for that as long as these companies can bring in indentured labor. First step is ending HB-1 visas, employment permission for HB-1 visa holder’s spouses, the 1-2 years after graduation those on student visas get to work before they have to leave or get a new visa.
