And yet there will always be that one fella/gal who skips out early leaving the company with a loss. If we can prevent those type of people (specifically YOU) from applying because of a training contract then its a win win for both parties. It's also a sign of a person's integrity. Willingness to commit for the allotted time shows a desire to hold that position which is a big part of what the interview is for, showing us you want to be here.
