Totally agree. They should have received a wage, as the learning program wouldn't result in a qualification, and was mostly a part of a hiring process.
If there were a wage involved, potentially more of the original applicants could afford to go through the hiring process.
At least the modern standard is to pay the potential hire as a contractor / consultant to do a few small projects, and then decide if you'd like to hire them on as an employee.
