We use Plural Sight and CBT Nuggets, well the IT people do, not sure of others. At various times people have had to stay at home, kid issues, wife having baby etc. During which time people can work from home for up to a week a year, learning online.

Company rules are each person is supposed to make a list of what they want to learn (develop) in the year, but it is rarely followed.

Do you have a budget of some sort that your company provides? Or is it just on an ad hoc basis

We have a free udemy account but we are too busy to use it. Workload takes an extra couple of hours per day and usually some im weekends too.
