Local bosses would prefer to save the money and most time, show favouritism when it comes to such learning opportunities.

I wouldn't take this kind of surface polling of employees too seriously. From my own experience, staff who actually have the drive to constantly learn and upgrade themselves will seek out their own avenues to learn regardless of whether the company plans any opportunities for them. The good ones will try to build up a business case to justify claiming from the company and even if unsuccessful will just give a shrug and pay on their own.

Those that sit around passively complaining that their employers never provide them with learning opportunities, never plan a learning upskilling program etc. usually are not motivated to upskill themselves in the first place. When these people (majority of workforce, sad to say) say they want training, what they actually want is to go attend an offsite / overseas training at the company's expense where they can wayang a bit here and there, have a good time chit chatting with others, R&R, eat good food, attend MICE etc. out of the office and the boss's supervision.

I had a lot of team members tried the same stunt with me as well. Go offsite or overseas for a face to face event they are always on the ball, when I sign them up for online based upskilling stuff suddenly the enthusiasm drops 90%.
