Other Ways to get involved [retitle]

• Promote or expand your company’s education benefits, such as tuition reimbursement. Census data shows that at least 330,000 people in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties have earned some college credit but have not finished a degree or credential. Encouraging your employees to return to school can help strengthen your internal talent pool, build employee loyalty and attract new employees.

• Share information about educational opportunities and financial aid with your employees and relevant constituents. [link to fin aid and edu pages; resources]

• Develop a mentoring or coaching program to support employees as they go back to school.

• Offer internships. Internships provide critical real-world experience to students and can often help employers discover new talent for their organization.

• Encourage your employees to take part in upliftED’s volunteer opportunities, like serving as a FAFSA Coach, training other volunteers to help with financial aid forms or participating in a workgroup. [LINK TO IMPACT TEAM SIGN UP SHEET]
