Training is intended to provide individuals with knowledge, skills and attitude needed to perform (or more effectively perform) a specific job. It is not education that's intended to make people well-rounded.
Formal training is needed when one or more people in an organization need new skills or knowledge and no colleague has the time or the skills or the training resources to teach him.
