When I started my new job I was trained by the guy I was taken over, however time to time my manager would instruct me on other matters but not really train me on it.
Webster's Pocket Dictionary:
Instruct: Teach, To Give Orders.
Train: 1:make or become prepared or skilled. 2:cause to grow as desired
Believe it or not the words have different meanings. They are close but not the same.
