Most large employers have some sort of educational benefits as part of an employees compensation package. Just like better healthcare and dental benefits, education helps when you are in a geographical area that pays poorly in dollars compared with neighboring counties or states. My wife's employer, The University of Rochester Medical Center paid for almost all of her classes to get a B.S., in Social work, even though she is a nurse and works half the week as a clinical coordinator. Add that 90% of the tuition to her relatively low hourly pay, compared from her past job in the Seattle area (almost a full $11/hour loss of pay), it starts making more sense. She's been there for 9 years and if our daughter can get accepted to the U of R, which in itself is very difficult, she only has to pay 10% the cost of tuition. I hope the Chrysler dealership employees take full advantage of this and that managers will work with employees schedules to allow them to participate. I've seen many employers offer this but make it something the employee can not do without giving up their position because of time constraints. I see they limit this to one specific college/university, which isn't totally fair, but perhaps this university can work better with employees work hours.
