Retailers like Staples, Old Navy, and AT&T are working with a new platform called LearnUp to train sales associate candidates before they even get the job.
These days, getting a job is nearly effortless if you're part of a certain class of job-seeker: college-educated, working in engineering or programming, and looking for work in the booming tech sector.
