I think the business case for it depends on training time, training costs, the odds of a person being useful after training, and how expensive it is to get someone already trained.
Training a batch of people for six months who will mostly be useful after completion and are mostly likely to complete training might be a good proposition. If training time is four years, 50% of entrants complete training, and 50% of those trained are useful... the case might be weaker.
- jseliger 7y agoI believe the biggest issue is people leaving. Invest x months of training at y cost. Then the person leaves right after training for a higher-paying job. That dis-incentivizes training.
- journalctl 7y agoIt also incentivizes paying more.
