Are you leaving money on the table?
For most working professionals going back to school is a tough decision because it involves rearranging your life, giving up your free time, and has financial implications too. If finances are standing in the way of fulfilling your dreams, I hope you know that the financial impact can be minimized with the help of your employer’s Tuition reimbursement benefits and partner school network discounts. The majority of the Fortune 1000 American employers now offer educational benefits in some form. Also, chances are that your employer works with a third-party education benefits administrator, who has a school network that offers additional tuition discounts.
What are the benefits of the school network?
The Edcor school network comprises cherry-picked schools of high repute and brand value, with regional and nation accreditations. All our school partners are aware of the impediments faced by adult learners and have learning and pedagogical pathways that suit the needs of the modern working professional who struggles to juggle work and life. Moreover, we supplement our school network with our Academic Advising services that are purely learner-centric and help in course completion keeping each learner’s unique journey in focus.
Edcor promotes schools in an unbiased and agnostic fashion and facilitates participation based on clients’ and employees’ learning needs only. Since there’s no monetary incentive behind which school the learner utilizes, the focus is purely on the learner’s needs. Moreover, our school network partners extend discounts on tuition and Debt-free degrees to learners to remove the financial barriers in going back to school.

CEO’S CORNER
“If you aren’t paying for the product, then you ARE the product”. The philosophy, sadly, also extends to the education benefits realm. There are many service providers out there who peg themselves superior by offering critical education-benefits administrative services free. Are they though? I urge you to stop and dig deep beneath the surface.
Read why Academic Advising is a critical service for learners.
Let’s investigate Career or Academic Advising services as an example. To understand what Career or Academic Advising entails at an organizational level, let’s first understand what it does not.
Career or Academic Advising is NOT:
- A marketing channel to promote one school over the other
- A one-size-fits-all approach with a select number of schools
- A service that takes away the freedom to choose a school
- Led by a revenue-share model between schools and the service provider
- A free service, rather than being a complementary one with education-benefits administration
As a differentiator, and to model what best practice Academic Advising should look like, let’s do a deep dive into Edcor’s Academic Advising. The main purpose is to help employees all become educated consumers of higher education including finding options for cost-effective and debt-free programs. There are no institution restrictions, as the primary objective is to find an institution that best fits the employee’s personal and professional goals, prior learning and on-the-job experience, financial ability, and preferred mode of learning. By leveling the playing field for all employees, completion of their education becomes an attainable goal – no wonder our graduation rates are the highest in the industry.
So, Let’s Future Together!
