Sandvik are investing in educating their customer base.

Aren't there any technical schools in Cal to teach these skills andknowledge before they become part of the "talented" workforce pool.

Not denigrating the talent just questioning the route. Before becoming talented one is normally formally, and incrementally educated with a senior mentor....

....or doesn't it matter that much anymore? Knowing just enough is deemed to be enough.
