Training opportunities arise from time to time, facilitated in-house or by other parties outside the organization or companies one is working for.

Conclusion
Training facilitators look to train people on more skills that are relevant to their professionals. Facilitators are mainly concerned about your motivation, the things you hope to learn, and what value you hope to take back to your employer or in academics. These things should come out strong in a training cover letter because they show a good understanding of what the training is about.
