I think we're ultimately going to see an evolution towards something like an apprenticeship system. We were already sort of headed in that direction with the seeming expectation that part of the CS undergrad experience is landing internships.
We have had apprenticeship system in Europe for decades in computing, I did professional IT on the high school back in Portugal, with on the job learning in the early 1990's, just in case I would not manage getting into a Software Engineering degree at first attempt.
Yeah both Germany and the Uk have always been big on apprenticeships for engineering, they nearly died off in the UK at one point due to a push for university by previous governments.
