Starbucks offers workers free college tuition

 

 

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/16/starbucks-free-college-tuition/10569971/

 

 

Starbucks employees nationwide will be eligible for a free college education through Arizona State University's online program beginning this fall.

 

The new initiative, touted as the first of its kind, will allow many of Starbucks' 135,000 workers to graduate debt free from ASU with no requirement to repay or stay on with the company. The funding will come from a partnership between ASU and Starbucks.

 

 

 

Under the program, Starbucks employees who work at least 20 hours a week will receive full tuition reimbursement if they enroll in ASU's online program as juniors or seniors.

 

Kudos to Starbucks for offering tuition without tying up an employee to the company. Talk about positive Corporate Social Responsibility (I put in the acronym C-S-R but for some reason, the autospell changed it). 

 

Thoughts on the new program?

Might be the wave of the future. With returns on higher education diminishing, tuition rates increasing, and online accredited universities getting more respectable, I wouldn't be surprised if more people elect to enter the workforce after high school, go to community college for 2 years, and then enroll in a degree program at an online university on tuition reimbursement.

Colleges have been at a bubble the last few yrs and add the consolidation of conferences annnnd the push to pay athletes I can see the NCAA blowing up in 5 yrs.

We then have an apprenticeship program second to none.

      it helps that Bryce and Tmac worked out a bit this off-season before the draft and are familiar with each other's game from way back.  Sure Bryce put in a good word for him to the coaching crew ahead of time That california connection goin' work, I hope

      My biggest problem is I think the players he likes don't really work in the modern NFL.  You mentioned the wr room being a lot better, is it?  It has the potential to be.   Last year when we traded up to get Legette, they said they traded up to take him specifically because he was a true X receiver.   Now this year they take TMac because they say he is and that XL was out of posisition last year.  Im not sold on Tmac yet just like I wasn't sold on XL last year.  If TMac isn't a lot better than last XL was last season then that's back to back first rounders in one position that would still need a huge amount of work.  Hopefully Tmac is what everyone seems to think he will be, I'm just not so sure, but them declaring XL was a true X receiver after the draft last year and what they're saying now should at least give you pause about their receivers evaluation because it means they definitely made a mistake one way or another.
