Job Training

Usually corporate employees do a program that puts them in a store for a day or two, to learn how things work. The program isn't always structured to provide valuable domain knowledge, but it's still useful when it's a "hit" out of a "hit-or-miss" structure. The tech org incentivizes some degree of learning through online subscriptions to resources like Pluralsight.
