Training isn't dead at all, most companies have co-op/internship programs for exactly this purpose. This greatly reduces the need for hiring junior employees since you already know if they are a good employee, and they are already trained enough to dump them right into a project without all the training for the tools/processes/product that goes on for any hire.
In my experience this means that the vast majority of hiring through standard postings my companies have done are for mid to senior level positions to keep a good variety of experience in the team. For the hiring I've been involved with, it often comes down less to whether the person ticks off all the boxes, but rather whether they can actually do everything that comes with the job. If you are getting rejections for missing one or two things, I'd recommend evaluating how you are coming off in your resume and interview and make sure you are emphasizing that you are able to learn quickly on the job.
