There are already many companies that lock you in contract in exchange for comprehensive training.

Which is mostly illegal in the developed world - its illegal in India but employers still try and enforce bonds.

You could go back to the real apprentice (no modern apprentice shelf stacking mc jobs) route but in that case the apprentice signs for x years and you cant make them redundant - and you also not guaranteed a job after it finishes
