Earn & Learn Program
Education and training are core values of UPS's unique culture. Whether the employee is a high school student, a college student or an individual who is making the transition from welfare to work, UPS offers a variety of initiatives that help employees attain their educational and career goals. The company's strong promotion from within policy develops today's part-time employees into tomorrow's executives. Because of this, UPS provides opportunities for employees to pursue higher education as well as training programs that prepare them for current and future jobs within the company. Several members of UPS's management committee started in part-time positions.
Since 1999, UPS has paid out more than $47 million in tuition assistance and has helped more than 30,000 student employees attend college. In addition to providing generous tuition assistance and loan benefits, UPS spends about $300 million a year on employee training programs.
Earn and Learn
How can you earn up to $20,000 towards your college education? Simply by working part-time at UPS.
Available in 51 UPS locations across the country, the UPS Earn and Learn program offers $3,000 per calendar year with a lifetime maximum of $15,000 in assistance. For part-time management employees, the benefits are increased to $4,000 per calendar year with a lifetime maximum of $20,000.
In addition to tuition assistance, part-time employees are eligible for forgivable student loans of $2,000 per calendar year with an $8,000 lifetime maximum.
Students are eligible for Earn and Learn the day they are hired and benefits are pro-rated accordingly if a student is hired mid-semester.
My son works part time for UPS and is in this program. In addition to this he receives full medical/dental coverage, 401K, and much better pay than a fast food place which is where most students usually work while attending college.
