There was a time, maybe 50 yrs ago, when large companies would train you after you got out of high school but they expected you to be with the company for many years so it was worth it for them. That changed. Companies are less likely to keep you as an employee for a long time. They are more likely to lay an employee off that in the past. So companies are lass likely to train you. In terms of job ads, companies are always putting in all kinds of requirements hoping that they will find someone that meets them but they know that it's very unlikely for them to find the exact candidate. If you meet the general requirements it's worth applying if you like the job. It's like any match. You want the perfect match but eventually you will just have to settle with what's available.
