Italian term or phrase: fa crescere attraverso il confronto
Hello,

I'm struggling to understand the meaning of this phrase - It's one of the possible responses from a questionnaire about training at work. The question is "Cosa pensa della formazione?" and the answer in question is:

"Va ricercata perché fa crescere attraverso il confronto"

Many thanks in advance!
