Traditional higher education controls the granting of degrees and they
won't be keen on putting themselves out of business.

I think we'll need some kind of skills testing system like the
certifications used in the IT field. E.g., Red Hat's Certification program:

If you hire a Red Hat Certified Engineer, you know you're getting someone
who can manage your RH servers. If you hire someone with a BS in Computer
Science you don't know that.
