Do your engineers expect skills training to be a formal part of their job, or do you expect them to do it on their own time? What’s the right mix?

Many of them don’t expect the company to provide hard skills training, so some of them will take Udemy or Platzi courses. And all of them won’t think the company will train them in soft skills.

The problem with many companies is that they think that the Engineers will be much better at their hard skills just by giving them constant work ( As if learning would be part of the job itself ) and they miss the focus on providing either new knowledge or new ways of doing stuff.

We have deployed an enterprise learning management system that provides both role benchmarking and training programs for engineering skills uplift.  In short, we see it as a formal part of their job, and a pretty critical one at that.
