It's not about training, it's about schooling. You can't "train" a programmer, except for some job-specific bits, you need someone to come in with some programming skills already, either from a 4-year degree or a proven record of home programming. You then expect to train them in your particular software setup, but you don't expect to teach them what a "for loop" is.
