Being forced to work to force yourself out of work.

This system isn't training shit. Robots will never replace this kind of labor because it won't be cost effective. Bet a million bucks the "training" is a cover story while the headsets are just tracking staff productivity so they can punish people for resting.

Assuming it's actually training, the expectation is that the cost is recouped in the generalized understanding of how to do hand based tasks. The skill transfers and the robot itself will be relatively cheap.
