Companies that offer tuition reimbursement
These companies won't just pay the bills, they'll also help you go back to school.
Pop quiz: What makes you valuable to an employer? No, it’s not your winning smile (though we bet it’s pretty impressive). The correct answer is your skill set. Growing your skill set plays a big part in advancing your career—unfortunately, that can get pricey. But there's help to be had! Companies that offer tuition reimbursement aren’t about to let their talent pool flounder on account of cost.
More than half of the companies surveyed for a Society for Human Resource Management study in 2018 reported providing undergraduate tuition assistance to their employees, and 49% provide graduate educational assistance. Part of the reason these programs are popular is that workers aren’t the only ones who benefit: A study by the Lumina Foundation, Cigna and Accenture found that tuition-reimbursement program participants were more likely to be promoted and to stay with the company.
If you want to grow your skill set, these nine employers will help foot the bill.
