I would check to see if your employer allows for time/money to be spent on employee improvement. A lot of companies allow and would even pay for classes or courses, or provide some small amount of time to be spent on personal projects.
Use small projects or spend 30min daily on research/study of new stuff.
Developer velocity should be one of the most important things for companies, and lots of modern frameworks allow you to do more faster with less bugs/code. So learning this stuff & doing presentations on it can often times convince a boss to use it on a smaller project first.
