I learned to use Inventor in less than a week by myself.

The WRRF held a workshop where a representative from Autodesk came and showed us how to use Inventor and someone from my team who had never touched the software before was making parts by the end of the day. Im sure plenty of other people there were too.

Not to say that Solidworks isn't easier, I've never used it, wouldn't know, but Inventor is definitely not hard to learn.

Furthermore, Im guessing not a lot of rookie teams use CAD for that matter.
