There are a lot of resources to learn Drupal, with a wide range of prices and time commitment.
The first step for everyone should be to create an account on Drupal.org (and optionally -- but highly recommended -- join the Drupal Association).
If you're responsible for maintaining sites, you should add a subscription to the Drupal security newsletter (you'll get notices every Wednesday of security issues with Drupal core and modules). Even if you're not doing the maintenance, you can be aware of what issues are being fixed.
Read about it
There's a huge amount of information on Drupal.org (under Resources, start with the User Guide).
Subscribe to the Drupal Association Newsletter and The Weekly Drop. A number of Drupal agencies also have periodical newsletters.
Watch and listen
TalkingDrupal.com has been creating a weekly discussion (audio/podcast with video option if you want to see what the talkers look like) for 10 years (celebrated their 400th episode in May 2023). If you become a patron (for as little as $1.50 per month) you get an unedited audio the day before the public version is available, so you can listen to the hosts doing last minute planning and after-show chats. The podcast also has all of the resources mentioned in the show notes on their site. Warning - The hosts are involved at community events (Drupal camps and Drupalcon) so you'll feel like you know them.
Some agencies have their own regular webinars -
The Aten Lunch Hour https://atendesigngroup.com/webinars
Acquia https://www.acquia.com/events/online
Take a course
For online training, Drupalize.me has been around for many years (with constant additions of new content) with monthly plans to do self-paced training.
Some Drupal agencies (companies that offer design and development of Drupal sites) also offer individual or group training in specific tracks (site-building, theming and module development), e.g. Evolving Web.
