The St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners approved a tuition-reimbursement policy for county employees.
Spearheaded by Commissioner Don Eaton, the program allows county employees to receive reimbursement up to 100 percent of tuition cost per semester at an accredited college, university or trade school.
The course must be for credit or extended-education purposes.
County administrator Pat Yoder said the classes must be relevant to the line of work in which the employee is hired to perform.
The opportunity is available, as well, for an employee seeking to fulfill specific requirements for a degree program in which the employee is currently enrolled.
Reimbursement is limited to $3,500 per calendar year, per employee, and available only if the employee earns a grade of C or better.
