In fairness, "training" is usually a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation of Goofus and Galiant.
I worked for a tech giant that is a homonym of Sysco. The mandatory security training videos were I shit you not animated cartoon animals. I would be deeply concerned about security flaws in their products, except that I never encountered anyone there that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products, nor did I encounter anyone who themselves had ever encountered anyone that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products. This abstraction from the product line was actually a common topic of conversation there among the employees.

"Hey, it worked for the Manhattan Project!"

The Manhattan Project sucked pretty bad on the receiving end, so that tracks
I would have said "Rhymes with Disco", but other than that I definitely very the vibe.
I presented a 45-minute security training presentation to my company of 35 people. Boring, right? I practiced for almost a year, though I'm not afraid to speak in front of a group, I wanted it right.
Management brought in good food and had everyone attend. We all but shut down for this. Did I mention I'm not afraid? I was scared shitless.
I left 15-minutes for questions and we ran into 30. Everyone was engaged! One of the wildest things I've pulled off in my IT career.
Maybe I should update and make a living offering my little class. Hmmm...
