My workplace has some great learning initiatives. We have video lunch sessions, book club and lightning talks to help learn more about emerging technologies and new methodologies. We also have subscriptions to Pluralsight, FrontEndMasters, etc.
I think they are incredibly valuable and it is very convenient having all the developers actively teaching one another. The company has benefited a lot from these discussions and has improved the collaboration between teams. I think there should be time given to employees to learn and improve. However there should also be ownership on individuals to make sure that learning benefits the business/company and other learning done in own time.
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
That is awesome, I really wish we had lunch sessions and lightning talks. My company does offer assistance with education, but it's "you want to learn, find it and ask if we'll cover it". Which is better than most, but still hope we get to this point some day.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
