With rights, come responsibilities - they can say no to the scheme, they can drop out in the first week, but if they drop out afterwards (and the whole point is to get people used to the idea of working and turning up on time), if there are no sanctions, what do we use to motivate those who would rather stay in bed?
btw, the "compulsory" is about another scheme, not this one - conflating the two to support your point is a little naughty, don't you think? (unless, of course, you can show us links to documentation that supports your premise about this scheme).

But the programme is carefully targeted and — importantly — it is entirely separate from the voluntary Work Experience scheme which described above
