Human Resources - Tuition Reimbursement

To encourage professional growth members of the Administrative Clerical (NP-3), Administrative and Residual (P-5), and Maintenance and Service Unit (NP-2) unions may qualify to participate in the Tuition Reimbursement program. The tuition benefit reimburses the employee partial tuition cost associated with enrolling in a course in an accredited educational institution. Employees should contact their union stewards or union contract for current reimbursement rates.
