thank you very much for your help

Answer 1

All Companies (over a certain size) have to pay a Training 'Tax' ... if they run Training Courses (of whatever kind) they get a 'rebate' .....

Specialist Training Componaies run courses for other Companies (and for the Job Center etc) and will (of course) get paid (by who-ever asks them to run the course) .. ..

Answer 2

I don't think, the government will pay any money to the company for this training programme. But the government as the regulatory authority may request the company to be a social corporate responsibility (CSR) company and set up such a training programme to make new graduates more employable when they come to the job market.
