While this is totally fine, I think there are many individuals/companies, who can benefit from guided development via a sponsored apprenticeship.
Not only is it useful for the individual but the business now has a moldable mind they can develop for future use.
Apologies if anything isn't clear or if I speak from ignorance but I think this model of skill development versus college, certificate programs, and other forms is much better for both company and individual.
As the title says, why aren't tech apprenticeships more popular?
