Difference between training, education, and learning?
I have a strong belief that if you're not being taught a new skill, it's not really training, it's a presentation or information session.
I'd be interested in hearing the community's take on this...
To place Sam's example up against my working definitions (apologies in advance)...
Education = Learning all the reasons why using a contraceptive is so important
Training = Learning how to deploy a contraceptive device via instruction
Experience = Suffice it to say one could learn either of the above pieces of knowledge though this less formal method; though with some serious unwelcome risks.
Perhaps that's one of the key reasons our industry exists... Often things can be learned through experience in a less formal way. But the costs in terms of risk, time, etc are what Education and Training alleviate.
