See also Skills for a detailed explanation of Skills and Abilities
There are currently four skills lines - Repair, Production, Administration, and Research. Trade-Off abilities are marked with (T). Trade-Off abililties are special in that they do not need to be trained. They are gained when you train the prerequisite skill to the required level.

Training Skills
Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of Inspirations. Training time (in seconds) is calcuated according the following formula:
Training Time = ( Level ^2 ) * 300 * ( Diff ^3 )
So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take:
( [Level 2]^2 ) * 300 * ( [Diff 2]^3 ) = 9600 seconds = 160 minutes (2h40m)
To train Containment Tech Level 4 (Diff: 3) it will take:
( [Level 4]^2 ) * 300 * ( [Diff 3]^3 ) = 43200 seconds = 720 minutes (~12h)
Shortcut Formula
In order to keep the arithmetic a bit easier to calculate, the formula can be simplified to:
Training Time (in minutes) = 10 x ( 2 ^ (current level) ) x (difficulty ^ 3)
Note that the above times have been shortened for beta. It has not yet been said what the times will be for the official game.
Bugs and Workarounds
Sometimes the training display shows two (or more) skills training simultaneously. This appears to be a display bug, and it is likely that neither skill is actually training. You will probably have to restart the game client to get the display to correct itself.
