Do you think employers are responsible for training their employees?
Sure, of course. I mean, ideally, the new hire should already know the basics of their job, but I firmly believe employers bear the responsibility for orientating and training their employees about the company’s overall structure, culture, and strategy, and the particular job’s responsibilities should also be communicated to the new hire. This is particularly important for new hires who are new to the industry that the company operates in. New employees might have theoretical knowledge but lack practical know-how specific to the company's operations. Training helps them acclimate to the company culture, understand work processes, and hone their skills to meet job requirements more effectively.

certain expertise：一定的专业知识
practical know - how：实际操作知识

How important is training in different industries?
I think it varies industry to industry, but overall, it can be crucial. For example, in the service industry, training is paramount as it equips employees with the skills to communicate effectively with customers and provide top-notch service. Understanding customer needs, handling complaints gracefully, and creating a positive customer experience are all skills that can be honed through training. In the medical field, however, training is far more important, as it’s a matter of life and death. And I think cutting edge industries always require employees to keep up with the latest trends, for example in the tech industry, where things evolve at a breakneck pace, it’s essential. So, as I said, I think it’s extremely important that employees are trained properly.
incredibly crucial：极其重要
service industry：服务业
paramount：至关重要的
creating a positive customer experience：创造积极的客户体验
medical knowledge：医学知识
evolve at a breakneck pace：以极快的速度发展
competitive：有竞争力的

Should companies focus more on training for older or younger employees?
Well, I'm guessing that it varies depending on the industry, but generally, more focus is placed on younger employees I would think. Younger employees usually lack work experience, which can be a hurdle in performing their jobs effectively. They're also more receptive to learning new things, as their minds are often more malleable at this stage. In contrast, older employees may already have a solid foundation in their work. However, this doesn't mean older employees should be overlooked. In some industries, like those with rapid technological advancements, older employees may also need training to keep up.
varies depending on：因…… 而异
lack work experience：缺乏工作经验
hurdle：障碍
more receptive to learning：更乐于学习
more malleable：更具可塑性
solid foundation：坚实的基础
rapid technological advancements：快速的技术进步

Is it common for people in your country to pursue higher education later in life?
It's definitely not the norm to pursue higher education later in life in my country. Usually, people complete their education in one go. In fact, in my country it's quite common to see individuals with a Master's degree entering the workforce for the first time. This is perhaps due to the traditional educational system and career-building approach. Once people start working, they tend to focus on their jobs and career development rather than going back to school for further education. With AI, however, perhaps older adults will begin rethinking this idea and return to school for further training.
complete their education in one go：一次性完成教育
entering the workforce：进入职场
lifelong learning：终身学习
