If you tell them to make nothing on their 3rd attempt, all three will live and there will be a graduation ceremony. A little later in the strongold quests... one of the apprentices will return to you fulltime and make a set of potions each week.

If you have them make anything in the 3rd attempt (or the most powerful item in the first or 2nd attempt) at least 1 of your apprentices will die and thus there is no graduation ceremony and the apprentice doesn't return to you.

HOWEVER, the benefit to having the apprentice working for you is only worth it if you do the Planar Sphere relatively early in chapter 2. I made the mistake of doing it very late in chapter 2, and barely finished all the subquests before I left Athlatka for Spellhold. From what I understand, after you return to Athlatka there isn't much gametime left and thus there isn't as much time for the apprentice to make you potions.
