Ask HN: Suggestion for low-skilled tech workers
3 by anon0192837465 | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi All, Soliciting some suggestions regarding various opportunities that can be created for low-skilled tech workers. Context is current situation in India, where many educated young ones have lost jobs due to COVID. Instead of one time financial help, me and my wife want to start something which will employ people with basic technical skills or train for such skills. We are not targeting superstar engineers or coder, but those who know just enough about computers or programming. I come from very technical background (FANG) and my wife is non practicing psychologist, we are confident that we can deal with technical and non-technical aspects of starting something like this. What are some good successful models like this? Any new suggestions? I looked into data entry and mechanical turk type of companies, but didnt feel these are long lasting jobs. In essence, we are looking for some venture where - 1. we can employ large number of low-skilled tech workers 2. we can pay everyone "at least" enough to live a decent life 3. we can use our background in technology I appreciate reading through this and for providing suggestions.
