This is one of the biggest reasons young players stay on the practice squad for a full season. Coaches want to groom them, get them trained on the playbook, prepare them for the following season, all the while keeping them on the team.

It is not uncommon around the NFL for a player to spend a full year on the practice squad, then compete for, and win, a roster spot the following preseason. It is a great tool to develop young players into the scheme you run.
