The back door around that is the consulting agencies. You just work for Deloitte or McKinley for five years, making spreadsheets about databases, and then you've got the experience to fake it in through the back door. Alternatively, a lot of firms do actually have new hire crash courses. I worked at a firm that would hire virtually anyone with a bachelor's degree and put them through a six week coding boot camp. The... quality of the product was... not great. But the volume of people coming through the system and getting "years of experience" was notable.
