Have the private companies train employees themselves.
I've been saying this for awhile. I predict we'll see an educational revolution in the next 50 years or so.
Take a university accounting program for instance. You don’t have to go to college for four years to learn how to be an accountant. I guarantee you that there are accounting firms who have the resources and wherewithal to develop their own educational/training curricula, and I bet they could do it a lot faster than a traditional four-year degree.
They just have to make it worthwhile for both the trainee and the firm.
Something like: “We’ll train you and certify you to be an accountant in one year, and hire you afterwards, as long as you commit to working for us for four years.”

My government agency should take up the challenge.
I have a four-year degree. Everything I learned and know about what I do, came from nearly 30 years in the work force. I never took a class in accounting dealing with Federal Acquisition Regulations or Cost Accounting Standards.

Accounting firms aren't going to invest in educating anybody. You come out of school and it's baptism by fire with some advance courses sprinkled in. They don't want to teach anybody basics. They've got those bloated partner pensions to pay for, afterall.
