I've had previous employers that talk the talk, but don't really walk the walk when it comes to development.

My current employers (especially my manager) is really good about self development. As long as I outline what I want to do and why, I feel they truly support me learning new skills.

It's refreshing to be in this situation :)

I've always been well supported by my employers for professional development. Either a one day training course or a longer term course, at least one every year if not more. Also conferences, community of practices, and I'm sure more.

Though as a proportion of my time it's probably pretty small.

My employer is me and they are terribly unsupportive. I regularly ask them and they always say they don't have any money for it.

Back when my employer was someone else I would estimate it was maybe 3 hours a month funded, but since I was in the kind of industry that has a mentoring culture, there was a lot of other informal professional development happening naturally.
