I'm not suggesting that all training is equal, or will require equal resources from an employer.
I tend to think wuf is right that plenty of jobs would pay much less during training, but not actually need to charge the employee for the training, as the net benefit of having a semi-competent person on the staff is greater than the loss of equity by their trainer.
One thing I really like about the idea of a trainee paying an employer is that it would likely be super efficient at placing workers in the right jobs. If somebody is willing to pay a small amount to do a job in order to prove he is worth paying more, he is much more likely to be a great fit for that job than somebody who is not willing. As a potential wage increases, the cost to the applicant to misrepresent his skills and misallocate his resources decreases. This cost in part falls on the employer, since he has to wade through a lower efficiency system of applications.
