S.T.E.M. learning resources exist for assistance is helping a young student develop an interest in computers. In fact, some resources can be used for very young children.
Computer positions are plentiful, and there is little to suggest the number of opportunities will increase. If there will continue to be enough skilled workers in the field, there must be a constant supply of interested people. If that interest is developed early, it might just take root.
Computer science is not one of the studies of nature, so the interest might need to develop following an exposure to the subject. That exposure must be interesting, and it must easy to master. This is possible with the proper resources.
Whether a young person is in a classroom, or being homeschooled, supporting any computer class is possible, and even supplementing whatever studies are formally provided can be made interesting. In fact, even if the topic is not brought up in a classroom, it can still be addressed with interesting resources. The first step in an interest in a future field can be as simple as a pleasant exposure to that field.

I heard of this on a morning television show. I was not paying attention in the beginning, so I cannot identify the source.
blackspanielgallery, I heard two people talking about the study a couple of years ago. They knew about it when they were in their 20s, about 20 years ago therefore since they looked to be in their 40s. Something at the time, though I don't know what, made me think that the study was associated with one of the Southern States' universities, such as Duke or Longwood. It was one of those situations of accidentally overhearing a conversation that had information that's quite interesting. They weren't acquaintances of mine, but they sounded as if they knew what they were talking about.
Two years old seems young, I would expect reading skills be required. As for relationships between workers, etc., I am not aware of any such study. If you find one it could make an interesting article.
blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the practicalities and products. An area preschool advertises computer and Spanish classes for two-year-olds. How young do you think is old enough for learning computers?
In another direction, have you ever come across a study from the last quarter perhaps of the 20th century suggesting something about computer usage frustrating peer relationships less than hierarchical relationships, such as between employer and employee and parent and child?
