I don't think anyone, Biden included is implying you walk out of the mine straight to a job writing code. But with the training and opportunities, many absolutely can transition to other careers. Models exist showing that it can work. Many of these folks went into mining because it was there and available. Not because their intellect was lacking or that their particular skills fit the job. That can translate to other fields.

Frankly, I find this a much more honest approach than Trump touting how he will bring coal back. That was a flat out lie. Ask Murray energy workers how that is going for them.
Hey what right do you have bringing common sense into a thread, I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed.
