Point out staff training on IT (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mention

'point out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'staff training on it' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in other clues).
'training' indicates an anagram (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'on'+'it'='onit'
'onit' with letters rearranged gives 'tion'.
'men'+'tion'='MENTION'

(Other definitions for mention that I've seen before include "Make reference to" , "Briefly refer to (something)" , "Acknowledge" , "Passing reference" , "Remark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
