I would, for a chance to be trained in a technology that I don't know and have a steady job for 5 years or so.

  I'm surprised that no employers even offer this as an option when hiring. There might be some legal barriers to this problem like recovering the investments when the employee breaks the contract? Seems like some kind of insurance would help there, though.

    I asked my last employer about this and they said that no contract can bind an employee to a company. Any contract would be one-sided in favor of the employee. Seems obvious when you think about it. Indentured servitude is wrong.

        I dunno the exact law, but those segments seem like specially-regulated segments of the economy.

          Maybe knowledge work is also special. Arguably medicine is a form of knowledge work. And it's not exactly a small or especially niche sector of the economy.
