Do jobs still do "shadowing" to learn the skills before you apply like welding or carpentry or computers? Or is it too much of a hassle for the person you are "shadowing" along with the company?

I'm a maintenance engineer, and when we hire new techs they shadow an experienced tech and/or engineer for 30 days before they touch a machine. We assume about 2 years of hands-on experience to be a fully competent tech. Of course there are exceptions based upon previous work experience, but generally we mandate a month of shadowing.
