Education is different from training:  education is a broader approach to information which might be used or needed at some time in the future.  Training, or ‘learning on the job’, is just that: acquiring new information at the moment you need it.

Search engines make it so easy to search for facts you need “right now”.  But when the knowledge needed is more nuanced, or judgement based, and you need to know the answer “right now”, that’s harder to search for.
