Ask HN: Would you invest in someone training in return of time of work for you? The training could be anything from system administration (windows, gnu/linux) to web development. 1. Why or why not will you invest? 2. Would you pay directly for the training? So the person would not touch the money at all. 3. Would you sign a contract? 4. How much are you willing to invest? and how much time will you expect in return? Thank you very much. |
As an employer.
Since this is a non-standard type of transaction there is additional overhead to set this up, which acts as a disincentive for an employer or company to move forward.
A simpler approach may be to ask for wages instead, which could then be used to pay for training. But based on your question, you seem to be asking specifically if a company would be willing to exchange billable hours for paid training, thus I suspect the answer would be "possible, but not likely".
