Can you be more specific? This is new to me...
My current company provides training to a lot of employees which is the order of 20000€ per person every 4/5 years, plus traveling and living expenses (usually for three weeks in Japan or the USA). Not a single euro is paid by the employees and there's no bond at all...this because the company NEEDS his employees to be trained.
And yes, we're talking about skills that can be used while working with direct competitors (a sort of type rating, just not for planes).
