But they aren't any use yet
What sort of useful computer work (for example) would I expect to get from an untrained 14 year old.
Essentially you're really giving them free training at the expense of one of your paid employees time.
Cash isn't the only for of renumeration; Skills and experience are worth something, thats what I'm trying to say.
For a year? You're joking. But for a few weeks/months it can make perfect sense.

Yeah I'm not talking about an untrained 14 year old though,
I'm talking about a 22 year old, with a degree. And bills to pay.

Learn PHP/HTML in about a week then
And get a job coding. You'll have no issues getting one with ease. Hell string theory and quantum mechanics are a lot more complex than that.

That was a long time ago.
I've got 3 years experience in C++ now, thanks to nepotism.

One of the funniest moments I remember
was having a poo before my animal physiology exam, nervous as hell, when finished I reached for the paper and on the first sheet was written
"arts degree - please take one"
