How about, instead of "connecting", they stopped stealing the kids future and for once thought them something useful?

Knowing someone is the cheezy way, but even on the interview. If you are unable to look them in the eyes, they will disect the CV to find a way to not accept you. If you are charismatic, they will be looking for an excuse to hire you.
That is how we humans work. Most skills will take 2 weeks to get to the same point anyway.
Knowing someone is how I got the one out of high school, and even that I didn't do intentionally. One offhanded comment was enough to convince him that his son's friend was right for a job, and he took us out to a civil war reenactment that day where he discussed bringing me on at work a couple of months later after I'd graduated. I wasn't even planning to change jobs at that time.
