Morphology

preemployment + training + program

The phrase is compositionally built from 'pre-' (before) + 'employment' and the transparent nouns 'training' + 'program', so its meaning — a program that provides training prior to entering employment — is directly inferable from the parts. This prefixal construction and noun sequence follow common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily understand it.

Etymology

The noun preemployment training program comes from the idea of preparing before a job: pre means 'before', employment means 'work', training means 'practice', and program means 'a set of planned activities'. So, like training before a game, it means 'to prepare for work'.
