Nope.

It's not going to make you feel any better, but the whole game is 80% PVP and 20% mining/industry/PVE.

Just logged in an old trial, about 1 Mio SP, it does have industrial trained.

Old trials got 2 industrials from the career agents, you had to buy the skill book.

In an effort to curb Trial account abuses, it is no longer be possible to train piloting skills other than [Race] Frigates, [Race] Cruisers, Destroyers and Spaceship Command on Trial accounts, nor will it be possible to pilot ships other than these classes on Trial accounts. Subscription accounts have no such limitation on training or piloting.

Your old trial must pre-date the Red Moon Rising expansion (16 December 2005). Extract from relevant patch notes:
[Edit] Or the account must have been subscribed at some time.

The career agents did indeed give two industrials, just as they do now, but from RMR onwards they couldn't be trained or used without subscription.

I used to fly industrials on trial account around 2 months before Ascension came and that account was never subscribed. I could also post you the kill report as that character was killed by CODE.

As a alpha clone player trying out EVE Online I seriously find that people like me that really enjoy mining are being left out.
Combat players have a variety of frigates, destroyers and cruisers.
Miners only get a Venture...
At least give Alpha Clones access to Mining Barges.
And I am not even talking about the skills for mining and industry which I could count on 2 hands.
Compared to combat skills which are a lot it is just ridiculous.

Please improve the mining capabilities for Alpha Cloners.

I have just discovered that the restriction was lifted in the Phoebe expansion on 4 November 2014.

That passed me by completely - profuse apologies to all concerned.

Checked. They can use the Gas Cloud Harvester I.

sorry they're not going to give you access to mining barges it would make it a lot easier for gold farmers the Takeover the game

I personally hate how I cannot use the cloaking device on a Alpha

the reason why Alpha players cannot use it all the stupid people complaining in 0.0 about AFK cloakers

reasons why people cannot have anything nice people abusing a system or people bitching about one

The restriction on Alpha Clones is there to make it convincing to sub. If Alpha Clone can fly mining barges then many industrialists would cease their sub and CCP would "lose" money.

(so we can semi-afk mine for longer duration)

It's almost as if CCP want to steer then Alphas into PvP ... I wonder if that might be because all studies that have ever been done on player retention shows that players who participate in PvP early on are most likely to stay in the game.
