Increase Employee Productivity & Return Investment

Corporate Tuition Assistance Plans

In today's competitive, global economy it is essential to maintain an educated workforce. It is predicted that about 60% of all jobs will require a college degree in the next ten years. Research has shown that investments in education and training are the top performers on Wall Street.

Most corporations have an established Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) benefit program to increase the knowledge of their employees to increase their productivity. TAP also gives employees the opportunity to gain credentials for promotion, job retention and mobility in today's changing job market. TAP was established to enhance Employee Development.

Your company has probably established policies and procedures to "administer" this plan. More employees are using your TAP each year. A full college degree costs the sponsoring corporation $20,000 - $40,000 or more! Multiply this by the number of employees using your TAP and you may be investing millions of dollars each year for this benefit plan.

Simply "funding" TAP is not managing your investment

Higher education is complex system. There are literally thousands of local and national options for college learning, self-paced study, Internet and computer classes, videotapes and television. Colleges have also developed ways to "assess" what college level learning your employees already "own" through their life experiences, corporate and military training. Yet, most employees pick colleges because they see an ad in the newspaper, TV commercial, talk with a friend, meet with a college recruiter or "salesperson", or pick the most expensive campus. The link between TAP and your corporate strategies is being missed, and there is little accountability for your TAP program and the money being spent.
