Every high school should have a coding class where kids learn how to program a computer.

Additionally, web design.  The class should have open hours where old people can pay a set fee to have a kid built their website.  The money should go right back into funding the class to keep modern equipment and licenses.  The kids should also help the local government bring more of their services online.

It's not just the computer knowledge, the kids would get a lot out of learning how to deal with customers that don't know what they're talking about.

Then funnel the best students through a programmer bootcamp before they graduate, which includes lessons on how to set up your own consulting business. This would help small to middle size cities retain some young talent.
