Training/Education

An accepted difference between training and education is that “education” provides knowledge and skills for unknown tasks that may be faced in the future, while “training” provides specific knowledge and skills required for current known tasks.  Both types of learning are needed at different times, but it’s important to recognise the difference, and to identify which type of output is being sought.  Furthermore, there is ongoing effort required to help make training stick, too, because training occurs at a moment in time, but a revised behaviour or approach to problems happens over many moments of time spent on the problem.
