The first thing I would do is go speak to the CNC department and guys running the machines to ask how they program parts. You might find they have someone who does the code and your just a machine operator who sets up the tools etc and runs the part.
They could also program the parts from a drawing at the machine control using conversational Cam which doesn't need any G-code knowledge and is proprietary software to the control so learning other Cam is a waste of time.

Speak to them before wasting time learning something that's not relevant to your work or there needs.
Also, you'll find that a lot of what you learn at DIY level regards controller etc and working the machine doesn't transfer over to Industrial machines or controllers. Yes, learning G-code will help to some degree but that will greatly depend on the controller your using and the standard it supports, Fanuc is a common standard of G-code controllers use but there are several flavors of Fanuc which are tweaked for controllers, etc. It's not as simple as One G-code fits all.!
