At least one big company I know of, learning is part of performance reviews - agreed upon in advance by the manager and engineer. It didn't usually help (at least AFAIK). Part the fault of the engineers and rest the culture of the team to always be fighting fires.

I don't know the exact situation you're talking about, but my guess is that this is exactly the type of formal "learning" I would argue does not work.
