Snowmass2021 Letter of Interest : Coherent Vision for Enabling Software Training in HEP

Computing and software development skills are continually more critical for success in the field of HEP. However, our approach to cultivating these skills within our community is piece-meal and lacks a uniform pedagogy. We propose here to create a more robust mechanism/program by which individuals entering HEP can learn the essential skills they need to succeed, independent of their formal education. A central aspect of this is creating a ”Core Computing Curriculum”.
