Yeah, I'm not worried about learning to program but about companies not hiring her as a junior/trainee because of lack of experience at her age

30 is still fine, ageism exists but 30 is hardly old

If someone goes to grad school, especially if they had 2-3 years of full-time work mixed in there, they can easily be pushing 30. I basically did a career change at about that age into the computer field as a product manager.
