Are they teaching Groovy in colleges and universities, or will a company have to rely on finding a Java programmer who has migrated himself/herself to Groovy on their own? If an organization begins including Groovy code in their software they'll want to be sure they can hire someone with the knowledge to maintain it.

Funny you should ask -- Groovy Programming (Barclay, Savage) was written by a couple of university professors in Scotland. In the states, I hear about a grad class every once in a while that touches on Groovy and dynamic languages in general. Groovy 1.0 was just released in 2007, so it takes a bit of time for these types of technologies to work their way into the system.
For now, books and training are your best bet. (That doesn't sound too much like a shameless plug, does it? Given that I've got a brand new book on the market and offer training -- http://www.groovygrails.com/gg/training -- even I would question my impartiality on the subject... grin)
