Or be awarded a "job" right from the rip and the SIC training comes after accepting the position?
Btw, if you have a link so that I could check out their SIC program that would be appreciated.

Here's a link that took all of 15sec to find about a current opening at their DFW location.

Once hired they'll put you through the required ground school for the type of aircraft you'll be sim-ing. Mind you that you will do little flying, more checklist and flows and PNF duties. As far as flying an actual airplane that comes from networking with guys coming through the training facility and a little bit of luck.
You don't have to go to the Flight Safety Academy in Vero to be eligible. If you are there long enough and the schedule works out in their favor they will issue a type rating.
If you are more inclined to pursue a Corporate/Charter career it certainly can get you many contacts. If you want an airline career stay in the instructor's seat and keep building time. Even so part-time instructing should still be considered as you may have a good in at a Corporate operator but if you don't meet insurance mins you're SOL
