New machinist, I want to excel faster

I’ll preface by saying I finished my Manual and CNC schooling this year a bit early, and was able to get a job in the aerospace industry. It’s only been 4 months into the job. They started me just shadowing, note taking and operating. Slowly given me simple dovetails, and now onto very simple parts and fixture jobs.

I’m loving every single minute of it, even if it’s just inspecting and operating some times. I am constantly learning and furthering my experience everyday, but I feel like it’s at a snails pace, since nothing compares to real work experience and problems. Is there anything at all I can do to continue to hone and grow my skills at home? What can I read? Watch? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
