This report provides the results of a benchmarking study to identify the best training practices within the software engineering community. We surveyed 24 organizations to create a broad picture of training as it currently exists in industry. We then chose three of these organizations for an in-depth study to identify the best training practices and enablers to those practices. This report summarizes the results of the survey and the in-depth study, and discusses the best practices and enablers that were identified.
