I would say that a more plausible solution (than somehow making businesses pay for the education of the people they want to hire) is to push actual accreditation off onto 3rd parties.
Imagine there's a trusted business who makes the tests and certifications, and anytime you wanted to hire someone, you'd check to see if they had the relevant certifications. Maybe this person self-taught themselves everything they needed to pass, maybe they went to a cheap institution to receive formal training for the certification, or maybe they went to an expensive one.
Colleges could no longer be more expensive just for the sake of being expensive, the colleges who could educate people to better scores would be worth more. Similarly the testing/accreditation companies who could better differentiate potential hires based on their actual ability would be more trusted by the hiring companies, and would be able to command higher prices.
