It takes awhile to accumulate significant gains from combat training. Typically, a soldier will only gain 1-2 points in a few skills with each battle. Freshly-hired soldiers will never really be excelsior; this is why keeping your starting soldiers alive and healthy while still sending them into combat frequently is important. Fresh hires are only good for filling out new bases.
Right now, there's no way to train soldiers outside of combat - missions are the only way to improve a soldier. Fortunately, all stats can improve with repeated mission successes; even health. And as Edi said, accuracy and weapons skills synergize; characters with high accuracy will get lots of kills and thus rapidly improve their weapon skill, which improves their kill ratio even further, which leads to them improving even faster... etc. This is how you get the howling-demon-bullet-through-tamaan-eyesocket soldiers I mentioned a few posts back.
Long range weapon + low spread + modest TU cost + mid-high damage + lots o' kills = lame soldiers don't stay lame very long.

:D so your gonna make a thing that allows you to train them outside combat? SWEET! and dont say no it WILL eventually happen
Sgt. Hatter:
Whoa there, Legendman3; don't jump to conclusions. I'm not a developer, so I don't know if there's an out-of-combat training method planned.
However, out-of-combat training was available for most of the classic X-COM series, so it'd stand to reason that it'll be included here sooner or later. I'll go look over the wiki to see if there's any info on it.
EDIT: Aha. Apparently they are in the works. I've found these UFOpaedia and Wiki articles regarding soldier training.
