Is there hope for a beginner without a degree in web dev today? (EU)

I've ran a coding school for over 6 years so I know a lot about getting junior talent into the workforce.

Most companies don't care about what degree you have or don't have, what they care about is: 1) Do you have experience? 2) Do you have the skills?

For a profile like your partner, the hard part will be 1). Companies won't even want to offer her an interview because she has no experience, and it's not something she can get unless a company is willing to hire her. So how do you get out of this?

The solution I've seen work the best to solve this issue: her/your network. Y'all need to ask a friend/acquaintance at a company that is hiring to bypass that "do you have 2+ years exp" filter to interview her. And since it seem she has the 2) figured out, she might get the job.
