Over the past few years, our leadership team has received numerous suggestions on how we can improve and better support our staff. Well, you asked and we listened. Employees may now apply to receive assistance for courses taken towards an accredited degreed program. Amounts range from $1,000 to $2,000 per fiscal year based on an employee’s employment status and salary. Formal academic course work taken by a City employee will improve the employee’s work performance in their current position and help prepare the employee for future career aspirations. Providing tuition assistance can create development opportunities that reflect a diverse and skilled workforce and attract and retain employees. Learn more and apply in August.
