Re:Growing your own programmers

[Eric Sundell PMI <esundell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I myself started as a lowly operator, I trained as a PC Tech 15 years ago
but no
one was hiring so I got a job just printing reports like a little robot half
a
day. I mostly self taught my self everything about the AS400, (Those old
days of
24 hour system saves on reel to reel, and 48 restores ya gotta do something)
and
my company is very pleased with my performance. 

If you give someone a fish, you feed him a day, if you teach them to fish,
your
whole company gets fish!

Would appreciate any input from companies and/or individuals who have taken
"non-programmers" and through in house training/external training converted
them
to AS/400 RPG programmers.  I am considering starting a program here to do
that
and would like all the "experts" out there who may have done something
similar
to share their experiences.
