Businesses have a need for experts in areas like cyber, coding, and programming along with financial and project management, the 69-year-old billionaire said.
“We are short on labor,” he agreed, but, he added: “We all have needs for cyber, we all have needs for coding, we all have needs for programming, we have needs for financial management and program management, things like that.”
But Dimon said that many schools are falling short in providing this specialized training to become the next generation of coders or program managers.
It’s why he has previously stressed that schools should be measured on whether their pupils actually land work after leaving.
Fortune reached out to Dimon for comment.
In fact, when hiring at his $750 billion-plus firm, Dimon insists that a college major doesn’t matter as much as a job candidate’s character.
