A person applies for a position in which they have work experience but no academic training except on job. Would they be considered for the position?

In terms of skills yes they will considered for that position.. thats why there is an interview, evaluation and it depends how the person answers the interview. growing professionally will be acquired while on job and it depends how long the person worked on previous job.

Yes they would be considered, then you can put the training plan. experience is the best training.

Without a doubt, why would they have been put in the position in the first place if they were not considered capable
