I think they should, and my reasoning can be summed up in one word:

Kaizen (continuous improvement)

Business talk all the time about "remaining agile" and "responding to market trends"; the same could be applied to technology. The knowledge you have today won't solve the problems of tomorrow. Any business worth their salt would happily invest a couple hundred bucks and a few hours a week to level up their team. As long as what you're learning can be turned into value for the company, it's a slam dunk IMO.
