To train vs to training

Hi, I've faced the bellow sentence in an english test online but I'm afraid the grammar of 'to training'. So is this sentence correct ? . Because I think, it should be 'to train' instead of 'to training'

They developed a unique approach to training their employees

There's that pesky "to", again. It is sometimes a preposition, sometimes an adverb, and sometimes an infinitive particle. The choice depends on idiom.
