We have this strange paradigm where we’re expected to do the learning on our own time with our own money. If companies don’t let us learn while working, everything should switch to co-ops.
- scrapheap 3y agoI'm curious how many people here actually don't get support from their employer for learning skills that are needed? Personally I've never had a problem learning things required by work, at work. The extra learning that I do outside of work hours is all for me, keeping my skills up to date means that I've got a lot more options available if I need to move jobs.

But most companies have a self-training budget, a training budget, and they allocate time off projects to send you to training. It's more common than dental insurance at least.
