People will learn what they need when they need it. That even includes
the possibility of me having to learn to do ribbons, which I am avoiding
right now. It doesn't matter much how or when you learn, it just
matters that you do.

I'm a long-term proponent of the idea that people should be taught the
foundations which enable them to read documentation, participate in the user
community and learn independently.
I've heard unfortunate anecdotes about screen reader users who arrive at
university not knowing how to use table navigation commands and other
important features. To succeed in higher education and careers that demand
considerable work with computers (in whatever field), those skills need to be
in place and to be kept current.
Screen readers such as JAWS have commands designed to improve the efficiency
of interacting with the Web and desktop applications. I think it's necessary
to know more than the basics in order to work efficiently and productively -
especially if you're using computers as your primary tool in much of your
work.
