In essence, Frank is describing the difference between education and training. Usually a business wants its employees' training to accomplish specific goals. The primary example would be performing a certain job duty or caring out specific tasks. In many cases, remedial instruction is necessary, yet that does not take away from the businesses original goal of having its employees capable of accomplishing the specific task. This is called training. Education, on the other hand, is a life long journey and most businesses are not going to fund that type of endeavor, regardless of the fact if it is the proper path or not.
