Companies should have an incentive to invest in the training of their employees - it seems they're always claiming that the people they're looking for just don't exist, and it comes off like they want people to emerge from the head of Athena fully-formed and ready to work to the company's specific needs.

It doesn't need to be the whole solution - regular education and training still plays a big part, because many skills are general enough - but there should be some responsibility for a company to help develop the employees that it needs. (Maybe through tax incentives or what-have-you.)
