Morphology

training + program

The meaning is transparently composed from 'training' (the process of learning or instruction) + 'program' (a planned course or software), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will infer it denotes a program used for training. The exact domain-specific nuance (e.g. software for machine learning) may be new, but the basic idea 'a program for training' is directly predictable from the parts.

Etymology

The noun training program comes from the image of a planned set of practice sessions: training is the work to learn and program is the schedule of those sessions. So, it means a set of lessons or activities to teach or build 'skills'.
