Just a fun little game I thought of:
You give 5 criteria.
You get a job that meets that criteria. When we get 5 results, someone starts a new one.
I'll start:
1. Repair Stuff
2. Outside
3. No Heights
4. No High Voltage
5. On The Job Training Only (meaning no apprecenticeships, college degree, etc required)

Even though I posed the criteria, I know of one example that meets it:
Natural Gas Utility Construction Crewman or Service Tech.
We train everybody on the job.

I will just argue that apprenticeship is, by definition, on the job training.

I would argue as well that an apprenticeship is also OJT.
I would have posted that link had it been open. But that rigger opening is close and used as an example.
When I started 14 years ago I was a 38yo apprentice. I was on the boats within two weeks turning wrenches as a outside marine machinist in shop 38. After a couple years they paid me $22/hr to get my associate degree. In 2012 I became a Journeyman. I have been to CT, CA, HI, VA for work. I have also spent a total of 16 days underwater as a civilian.
Pension, 401k, Roth, great health benefits, etc. To top it off I get to work on some freaking awesome machinery.

The shops I ran, you better have cred before you even ask me for a job. I won't train. You often end up with the first 30 cars they touch being disasters. I know some shops will train, but I want techs to show up on your first day, pick up an R.O. and turn a wrench with the confidence that I don't need to hold your hand.
I took over a shop where they had hired an inexperienced tech. He was diagnosing a possible head gasket failure.... by removing the pistons from the bottom and looking up in the cylinders. He broke a piston crown trying to get it back in the bore without a ring compressor. Congratulations, we just bought a wasted Chrysler Pacifica.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

Dude, that is just a story of horrifyingly bad management.
