Bret, what you are missing on the companies doing the training.
The company then stands the entire risk should something go wrong. They hire someone out of a trade school who screws up, yes they still have liability but a jury can be made to see that it isn't entirely the companies fault because of poor training. Plus with outside certifying agencies a company can limit their exposure. Now they build a faulty product because they tried keeping the cost of development down then they are 100% liable. In that case it often comes out that the engineering staff told management that it needed more work before being ready for the market. To very good examples of that were the tranny issues when IH released the 560 Farmall and Ford with the exploding Pinto.
One way or the other the consumer is paying for it. Through taxes or through the company passing off the cost of training in the price of the product. It would be interesting to know what an insurance company's take on employer run training programs today for something like welding. Unless the company was covering a wide range of welding skills, often much more than the job requires, how would they get them certified? For liability reasons you are going to want that cert through an outside source.
With todays courts a company is wise to only hire skilled workers who were trained and certified at an outside source IMO. Look at auto mechanics. They have to get their ASE certs for each system and it's no longer just taking a test. They have to have proof that they worked on each system. The only way to efficiently do that is with a dedicated course. No way a smaller dealership can train themselves.
