Can anyone help me out?

What is the average (and/or optimal) % or number of hours permonth/year, per employee devoted to "training" across industries?

Are there are any articles written on this?

What is the average (and/or optimal) % or number of employees and what "training" do they need to receive and take part in so that they learn how to perform their roles averagely and/or optimally?

Think LL, is on the money with her answer to the question.

The only consistent answer you will find is, "Enough hours to ensure that employees receive enough training to do their work effectively". The range is anywhere from a few hours a year to 100+ it really depends on the industry, job complexity, change etc.
