If the pipeline were not an issue and you could train people, then we’d have no need to import workers. They’d take kids (whatever race or background) off the street and get them up and running. But they already have a hard time accepting people from boot camps (of course some are diploma mills, but some people are good, but get ignored regardless).

I'm confused as to whether you are implying it's impossible to train people? Also isn't the concept of ignoring applicants with some form of training (reasonable boot camp) essentially blocking the pipeline?

I think people are trainable but companies are loath to do do that. They hardly want to train people they’ve vetted and hired.

And yes, ignoring people from boot camps and other alternate learning systems is a problem.
