To me, one of the biggest boosts for training for the individual is the Internet, more specifically GOOGLE. A subject can be chosen for a search, look through 20 to 30 pages and find a whole bunch of information (one caveat, choose the right words for the search). Probably not everything, but enough perhaps to make it seem like you are well informed. For example, I have saved a group of articles that could be used for a novice to learn about paper and the paper/board industry. My original incentive was someone who asked me about a short course in paper physics. I would be happy to share the articles with someone seeking this kind of information. Or to do another search to obtain articles appropriate to their needs. I do this all the time on a variety of subjects and seemed to have developed a knack for choosing the "right words".
