Depends where you are, I guess. In Sydney, it would be easy. We are teaching Haskell to about 1500 first-year students every year. Many of them are not CS majors and so probably wouldn't fit your bill, but a large number of our School's graduates have enough experience in imperative, OO, and functional programming that they can work in any of these areas. I know that there are a number of schools in Germany and the UK who teach functional programming on a large scale, too. Not so sure about the rest of the planet. At least MIT and Rice should produce some Scheme programmers ;-) You might like to enquire at some universities close to you where you are located whether any of their graduates may be useful to you.
