Moreover, government job training programs reach only a couple of hundred thousand people a year.So what about those coding camps we hear so much about?Well, many of them cost money to attend, at the very least cost trainees the income they forego while training. Plus, they tend to be short-term.The idea is great. The execution is not.In Louisville Kentucky, entrepreneur Ankur Gopal has hit on apprenticeships, lengthy programs where trainees are paid, as a way of staffing his mobile software firm, Interapt.An especially stunning success story, single mother April Hickman, raised in foster care, homeless before she applied for an Interapt apprenticeship.Of all the foster kids you have known, given the same kind of opportunity, same kind of training, what percentage of them could what you're doing now?Oh, gosh, a great number, because it's problem solving. And if there's one thing that we're good at, it's problem solving, because we have had to.Alex Hughes worked in the coal industry before making the switch to software.What percentage of people in the coal industry could do jobs as sophisticated as what you're doing here?That's 100 percent. It's a very technical industry. And so they're always having to learn and adapt.In fact, every successful apprentice I interviewed for this series claimed that between 50 and 100 percent of those in their position could do the same, given the chance.
