How does training help to modernize traditional professions

Answer:
It is a little lengthy, sorry....
Explanation:
The typical worker now changes jobs 10-15 times in a career, with the U.S. Department of Labour saying that the median workplace tenure for people between the ages of 25-34 has fallen to 2.8 years – less than three times that of people 55-64 (10.1 years). That’s putting increased pressure on organizations to develop effective and engaged employees with more modern learning strategies.
The good news is that many of today’s employees are actively seeking out on-the-job learning as they look to acquire transferable skills. However, while U.S. companies spent more than $70 billion on employee learning and development in 2016, there is still ample room for improvement. In a recent McKinsey study, 40% of chief learning officers admitted that their efforts in the space were either “ineffective” or “neither effective nor ineffective.”
While formal learning is still important, practical skills—mostly acquired through on-the-job learning programs, employer feedback, etc.—are gaining in importance, as is the development of critical soft skills. There has been a pronounced shift in workplace learning in recent years, from companies deciding what their employees NEED to know to employees determining what they WANT to know in order to accelerate their professional development and achieve specific career goals. That shift is only accelerating as the world of work changes at an increasingly rapid clip.
