Workers attending National University get 25% discount on tuition for associate and bachelor's degrees and 15% off doctoral programs; UC San Diego extension programs will be 10%-15% offThe San Diego City Council Tuesday approved agreements with several local higher education institutions to allow city employees new opportunities for career growth and development.
National University, San Diego College of Continuing Education, UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies, and the UCSD Rady School of Management are the city's new partners for employee education for a five-year term, offering free and discounted tuition, along with education scholarships.
"After months of coordination, we were able to negotiate these four new partners to meet employee needs in alignment with our economic development strategy."In a survey involving more than 12,000 employees, 48% of respondents said they were interested in pursuing professional certification or achieving a college degree.
"The city strives to create a culture of learning and to provide pathways for career growth and development for every employee," said Julie Rasco, human resources department director."Engaging in education partnerships through the Education Partners contract will aid us in removing potential barriers to further progress in that direction and to support all employees' immediate and long-term career goals.
According to the city, National University will continue its 10-year partnership in which employees can receive a 25% discount on tuition for associate and bachelor's degrees and 15% off doctoral programs.The partnerships announced Tuesday include 10%-15% off UCSD extension programs and five fellowships annually to the Rady School. Scholarships will be available for National University and UCSD extension programs each year.
