Are you speaking in terms of your employees or for yourself? If employees, offer tuition reimbursement for related education and/or certifications.
If for yourself, it really depends on what you want to apply it to. MBA, field-related certifications and licenses, etc.

Boy do I loathe the term human capital.

Seen mismanagement of it cost multiple people their jobs. In any small business more than perhaps 3-5 folks it's extremely important. Leaders who divorce themselves into their Ivory Towers of job titles and make believe layers of middle management between them and the boots on the ground are missing the boat on it.
May be something akin to hearing shite like synergy in a professional setting. But it's important.

It literally means being good at something. In the dystopian newspeak of 21st century corporate America, you don't learn a skill, you "develop human capital."

You need to be way more specific about the context. Is this for you individually, a department, or an entire organization?

Actually no. That's either becoming a SME (Subject Matter Expert) or learning/developing a soft skill.

In Wiki, they quantify Human Capital or as a "Capital Asset," and then discuss the "flight of Human Capital," as the departure of skilled or trained employees from the employer.
It's not the act of investing within them. It's the "them," who are invested in themselves. Them=your workforce. Your workforce has skills, abilities and value they bring to your employer. These people make up your human capital.

There is limitless information available on the Internet...find something you think is valuable and go read about it or watch YouTube videos on it. If you are looking for certifications then these videos will probably point you in the right direction. Join a group or professional club related to your interest. This is a vague question but basically you had to take initiative to learn something. He first step is figuring out where your interest lies and then whether it is something valuable enough that someone else will pay for it.
