Can we re-skill an injured worker?

Question: We have a worker who injured his hand 18 months ago. He has limited use of the hand as a result. He has been cleared to work for 4 full days on light duties. However, we are struggling to find any light duties for him. He has been shredding, applying stickers to tanks, and doing some minor cleaning and basic paperwork. He has limited computer skills, so we cannot give him other work. What other options do we have? Can the business or our insurer pay for him to do a training course?
