I’ve often dreamed about creating a program like this. The problem of course is turn over. You invest so much in this worker and they leave. You’d have to give them a 50% raise to keep them for more than a year or two tops and most budgets at corps don’t work that way.

I’m reminded of that old joke where the CFO complains to the CEO about the cost of training, “What if we train them and they leave?” CEO replies, “What happens if we don’t train them and they stay?”

BTW I’ve done entry-level training for information security, not as a coat-cutting measure, but as the community service I wish I had when I was first starting out. Anyone complaining how hard it is to fill positions and is not offering entry-level jobs is literally the problem.

Exactly! But folks SHOULD move around in their early career. Wonder if you could create a team culture where taking a “sabbatical” is expected/celebrated. After a couple years you go work somewhere else but you’re welcomed back w/open arms (& the good ones are actively recruited)

That would require having a company culture that people would *want* to come back to. And would have to include opportunities for growth. Without those two ingredients, I doubt people would return. Moving around inside a company could work too.
