    I'm unsure if this forum is the correct place to ask this but I'm trying to gather a list of industries that would involve employees attending a lot of training sessions.

    For example, retail typically has a lot of training sessions such as induction, till training, sales training, manual handling, product training etc...

    What other industries would involve regular training for employees?

    Cheers.

    Thanks.

    The medical device manufacturers got me thinking...what about pharmaceutical companies? Anyone have any experience with them?

    What about banks? Utility providers? Transport companies?

    I have spent many years working for various pharmaceutical companies.
    Continuous training. Essential reading every week too.

    Depends what you mean by training?

    I only have the occasional online and in-person training but I imagine those who are more involved in manufacturing/quality would have a much higer frequency - weekly SOP acknowledgements, ongoing competency testing for using equipment etc.
