I've seen Teaching used a couple of times to teach skills to other PCs and allied NPCs.

How useful it is for this purpose depends on how strict the GM is with CP expenditures. If the GM allows buying whatever, then Teaching is merely a job skill or background skill. But if the GM requires a teacher or in-game practice to learn a skill, then Teaching is gold for learning new skills with no defaults, so no easy way to practice. In particular, for mages teaching each other spells.
