If your company was smart (assuming you're not self-employed) they'd give you some input on young hires and a bonus for training them, and then apprentice them to you. (...and do all the same for their competent "old timers".)
Part of the problem I've seen from the "seeking employment" side of things is that the companies are loathe to do any training on their new hires, wanting "cookie-cutter candidates". (Might be different in your line of work.)
I am the company ;)
