I have no idea how it is in your country and over here it varies from state to state and even town to town. We have the kind of program you are describing too, where people are theoretically going to get hired after the state is done paying their salary but often don't.

I would ask about vocational training/education-- can't hurt, right? And if you sign up for the vocational program and decide you don't like where you are working or that it isn't a good fit, maybe you could switch companies or quit that position? The point of the program is to find you permanent work, not to give companies free labor (even if that is how they see it), so whoever is supervising the program will ideally pay attention to your needs and wishes as well.
