My firm works with at risk youth, we provide training and resources to assist them in pursuing a career in the trades.

We pay them $18/hr, the government gives us a subsidy of something like $8-12/hr depending on the situation.

The employee is still paid pretty much what their colleagues are. There are ways to handle this that don't end up with mentally challenged people working for slave wages.
