Type rating prior to hire? No, we're not Southwest. World pays to get you a type rating (if going to the MD-11 or B747). That's why there is a training contract.
World's training is simular to that at other FAR 121 carriers. A week of basic indoc and then off to aircraft specific training. DC-10 is about two weeks of ground school, then about 10 days of simulator. The MD-11 is about two weeks of FTD and then two weeks of sim.
