We have Pre-season trainings for specific skills, like milling or lathing in fabrication, as well as electronics, programming, etc. I know that we recorded these at least one time, but IDK where they are (there's definitely some Mastercam tutorials here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/tahomarobotics)... The team also trains people during build season, with the more experienced students training the less experienced ones. If people aren't doing anything, the lead mentor or team president will often direct them over to the mills or something so that they can learn how to do a thing- just standing around socializing is generally frowned upon. For the women on our team, we have the Girl's generation (a preseason event) competition that we host, in which they get a kind of crash course on how to do pit work, drive, etc. (unfortunately in recent years we have been a very male heavy team; this past year another team actually helped us out, since they could not themselves participate). In the end though, the students have to want to learn these things in order to learn them, as is the case in all things. Hope I could help, even by just a little bit
