Square founder wants to fix the tech talent shortage (starting with St. Louis) | KBIA: "LaunchCode is McKelvey's four month old project that connects real companies with programmers and would-be programmers who don’t have the education or credentials to get through the front door.
"HR departments are designed to screen applicants," McKelvey said. "Typically they screen on a couple of things. They want to see a four year degree, they want to see two years of relevant experience, they want to see every single language.”
McKelvey says these policies are plain ridiculous. Putting the squeeze on the talent pool only makes sense in low-supply, high demand situations like marketing, law, or, say, radio."
Here is a guy on the right track!
