The only student on our team who knew how to use machine tools was myself... Probably because they were my tools...
Needless to say, it isn't that hard to give people instructions over their shoulders and instruct them while they work. We only have 1 mill and 1 lathe, so it isn't too hard for multiple mentors to supervise a single student. Even if that student has no formal training.
We have a similar arrangements at our sponsor's shops (the students run the machines and the owners dictate what to do).
