Worker Training

I am probably being deeply dippy!

But. I understand that you can train your workers. Hire one with poor skills and overtime their skills will improve. This is how it should be. Is it? And, if it is, how can I see the progress?

Also, can you hire a worker without skills in the job you assign and will they eventually acquire appropriate skills? I have deliberately hired a range of low skill and no skill workers for my cattle sheds in order to see what, if anything, happens. but, I am sure someone has the answer to this question.

I have never seen any auto progression, I train everyone except throwaways. I am curious if dual skill workers would be better than the single skill needed for the task. i.e. Slaughterhouse employee, does the trained manufacturer work the same as one trained with manufacturing and animals, or does the animal training = better job performance? seriously though, I know this game is not that deep,.. in hard mode i always try to find the main task training plus endurance.

I feared that would be the case. A serious oversight. Bother!

OK, Now I know I am being deeply dippy. One of the achievements is "Good Employer, train your employee to level 5". Apparently, 51% have achieved this. So, how, please?
