Something worth looking into might be https://www.sans.org/cybertalent/cyber-workforce-academy-maryland . Link you provided seems more like a tax deduction/marketing/or maybe revenue vehicle for the company as the program has a cost to the student https://bootcamp.ccc.edu/cybersecurity/ .Offering free courses and certification with maybe some kind of hiring commitment at the end seems fair but often is at a reduced labor rate and there might be catches if a student fails (e.g. pays back course/boot camp fees).
