You can't become a skilled carpenter with just a few weeks of training, but you can apprentice with one if you can swing a hammer and are willing to put in the effort to learn, follow instructions, and work hard.

I suspect a lot of entry-level programming jobs are like that, even if they don't intent to be apprenticeships.

Those apprentices don't get paid a journeyman salary though, but many of these very new programmers seem to think they should.
