Of course, it is all about consideration. I just can't think of an example where training would be enough consideration for a non-compete.

Employers always have to pay for experience. You either pay more for an experienced employee or pay for training.

With an experienced employee you can include actual benefits, like you mentioned, or you can pay to train someone who will take a lower salary.

I'm not suggesting that training should be adequate consideration for a noncompete.
