It is basically an extra long two-handed finishing trowel, when you get to the final stage of plastering (when the plaster is set enough to be polished) then you can use the darby with both hands to 'polish' the surface in a large sweep at a time (in a horizontal motion from one end of the wall to the other). Personally I have never seen the need to use one, I use a normal 14" hand trowel to do everything and I get the results I want with that.

There is certainly nothing wrong with trying out a trainee, especially if he's offering you that good of a deal. Be honest with him, tell him you are happy to give him the experience, but at the same time you are looking for quality work so if there is anything that you are not happy with, if he can't correct it, the deal is going to have to be cancelled. Neither of you should lose out with this type of arrangement. Often trainees do fantastic work because they are so eager to prove themselves and they are still enjoying their work. Good luck!
