If universities & junior colleges make money by teaching classes, and they see no market for AS/400 classes, and if there are businesses in dire need of more qualified AS/400 personnel, then perhaps there is a market for the various IBM business partners to offer selected IBM classes to the general public.

Think of a pair of linked ads where job openings go.
1. The enterprise lists qualifications an applicant needs to have & provides a link to where someone can learn that subject, saying that they willing to hire entry level positions to graduates of certain classes. 2. The IBM business partner in the region lists the classes they offer, whenever they have some # of students sign up for the classes, with links to job market ads for people who have learned what the classes offer.

When any community can get that going, the IBM reps would notify their customers, in other communities of the region, about this, so that additional students could come in from other companies, when courses are relevant to their needs.

Perhaps the IBM business partner can give some referral commission to anyone who sends them a student.

The sad thing is that I was hearing from local businesses (South
Bend/Elkhart/Goshen, IN area) that they needed AS/400 programmers and had talked to the university about it, but the computer science department
didn't see the opportunity.
