How to Ask Your Employer to Fund Your Education


Promise to Stick Around For a Set Period of Time

The reason why most of the employers are reluctant in funding their employees is because they feel; the employees leave the company once they receive the degree. You need to work to clear this point. You should discuss plans for company’s progress on the long term, to help both yourself and the company achieve win-win results. Align your educational goals with corporate objectives, and show direct, specific benefits. Dispel any fears about absences or the possibility you’re leaving the company. If it requires you to sign a commitment to stay on for a certain number of years, you can if you’re comfortable doing so.
