FIRST = Employee Training, Anybody tried it???

We're wondering if any of the old timer teams have tried it and how it works...

Have any of your companies established training programs for engineers, machinists, managers, etc. that incorporates the FIRST program? The robotics and animation contests seem like a great way to learn rapid prototyping, teamwork, CAD, software, project management, stress management . It would seem to be a great way to help justify the cost to upper-management and improve the company's ownership of the team.

I'd like to know how it works on your team.
How do you decide who should participate?
Are trainees as dedicated as volunteers?
How well does it work?
How do you work with the students?

Maybe nobody does this and it just makes a good 'what if' in FIRST's promotional material. If you're not doing it, what are your thoughts?
