They do. It's called internships.

Will they take you with zero engineering experience? Because my local trades union will take you from zero to an electrical journeyman (a friend of mine went through such a program and now runs a crew in California performing electrical infra overhauls). I am unaware of any engineering org that’ll take you right off the street to productive commits. If anything, everyone is looking for the cream of the crop.
