That‘s not how this works in German speaking countries in Europe. The school is paid for by the tax payer and the company pays the apprentice a salary that should represent the value they create as an apprentice. The company also pays for additional courses organized by their guilds. For programmers and system administrators this might be how to build a pc or a network or how to build some software project. It‘s a great system for companies and apprentices. I think there are even some Swiss companies that try to build similar programs in the US because they have a hard time hiring in the US.
