A new teacher throughout the years must have been a wet behind the ears academic. They may have been trained to be a teacher but how many actually lived in the real world before becoming teachers ?

With the 1 year training at the moment, whose to say these present students are ever going to 'grasp' it at the end of the day. No amount of training can bring this out in some people.

Many of these candidates will probably have some knowledge of training people in their work situation.
I agree with Katex to a certain degree. It may also help to pass some real business sense on to school leavers before they start work rather than leaving with no idea.
