Tech companies need techies – coders – who can write computer code, develop the virtual nuts and bolts of software needed to make things work in the internet age. St. Louis and many other cities have a shortage of coders and Square co-founder, Jim McKelvey is doing something to solve the problem.
Hear about his new venture LaunchCode that pairs newbie coders with veterans in an apprenticeship program that will increase the talent pool and help create new jobs. Olin Business School MBA’14 Kasey Joyce talks to McKelvey about LaunchCode.
