3. 1. Introduction 9/8/2010 3 Tuition-Reimbursement Program Information Technology is evolving at a fast pace and the best way to keep up with all the new technologies is to study them, learn them and get certified in them. Self study, taking classes at a college or attending a workshops are great ways to do this, but most of these options cost money. At General Hospital, we are lacking an educational assistance program available for the employees of the IT Department that will help cover the cost of training and tuition. We are required at General Hospital to be certified in our respective areas of IT. (A+, Security+, Microsoft etc.) Certain employees of the IT Department feel discriminated against because educational opportunities are afforded to the doctors, nurses and technicians within the hospital.

12. 4. Conclusion 9/8/2010 9 Tuition-Reimbursement Program “Education is not a process that ends when you land a job” This is true of many occupations. (Doctors, lawyers, scientist) A Tuition-Reimbursement program based on the research information does benefit an employer by allowing them to retain a highly trained and productive individuals as opposed to hiring a new employee with little or no training. The employees also benefits by continuing their education, you gain a greater knowledge and respect as a professional. This program can also be used as a recruiting tool for new hires looking for a rewarding job experience and advancement that comes with a higher level of education.
13. 5. Recommendations 9/8/2010 10 Tuition-Reimbursement Program I recommend that General Hospital initiate the proposed Tuition-Reimbursement program for the employees of the Information Technology division to improve the technical capabilities and the production of the department. I also recommend that we adopt the “Employee Obligation for Degree and Certificate” policy that will protect the financial investment made to the employees of General Hospital. And lastly, I recommend that all the employees of General Hospital be afforded the same opportunities for education and training.
Editor's Notes
Hello, my name is Louis Green, I’m with the IT Department of General Hospital and I will be speaking with you all today about a Tuition-Reimbursement Program I would like to have implemented.
Just briefly, here are some areas that I will be addressing through out the presentation. *Introduction – Who, What *Purpose – Why *Research- How *Conclusion- My opinions of the outcome of the research *Recommendations.
The purpose of this research is to 1. Find out if there is a need for a Tuition-Reimbursement Program 2. Establish some guidelines and 3. Determine how much it will cost.
I would just like to some key points in the guide line. For instance 1. establishing a pay rate for letter grade earned. 2. Training must to related to your job . 3. You need pripr approval from the CIO and HR.
Most organization will have a policy or agreement letter employees will have to sign. This one states that depending on the level of education you complete, you will be required to remain with the organization. For instance if you receive money from the program and you complete your Bachelor’s Degree you would have an obligation of 1 year to the company. Also you can be held responsible for repayment of the money if you are terminated for violating company policies etc. “Fired”
Recommendations: 1st - I recommend …..2nd – I recommend…. And lastly,Thank You for listening.
