This happens in Spain too, and I bet more countries are on the list. Universities can't train people in the lastest tech. It's not what they are for. That's the job of "Professional Formation" as we call it in Spain, and I know other countries have similar programs (Community Colleges, Trade programs?). Now, if you want someone with deeper theorical knowledge (uni) + hands-on training, you're either looking for people who engage in programming very early (not many, you have to compete for them) or you're looking for someone who wen't through both Uni + FP which is probably way less people. In the end, you'll have to spend money in juniors, like it or not. It's a fact of life. Which mean you'll have to hire senior developers (who can teach & mentor) and allow them to spend time and resources on this people. This isn't new, it's what trades have been doing for thousands of years. If you have the money, don't be a lazy fuck and do it.
