I could see the case for a limited therapeutic exemption applicable to accredited organisations providing proper and fulfilling training and where there is a prospect of that leading to 'proper' employment at no less than the National Living Wage. It would need to be tightly drawn and regulated so that people like Zippy's office cleaners are not exploited.
There is already a precedent in the apprentice rate in National Living Wage. There is also process in Universal Credit where people who have 'Limited Capacity for Work' can do a few hours a week and still get a reasonable top up from DWP.
Otherwise no.
