&gt;I&#x27;m talking about tech companies reaching out to schools (college, high school, middle school level) to get a sense of what they need and to help them give students the opportunities to pursue computer science and other technological careers based on their interest.<p>And if you want that to happen, you need to set up incentives such that it&#x27;s in tech companies best interests to do so. You can&#x27;t just say that things would be better if something were to happen - identifying problems is the easy part. Identifying what needs to change and how to change it is the hard part.
