Branson, Mo. – Sillver Dollar City’s parent company, Herschend Enterprises, announced yesterday that they will begin operations on a program they’re calling Grow U. What this means is that Herschend’s over 11,000 employees will, where eligible, be able to have their tuition and education fully paid for.
Herschends Grow U program is tied to an education platform called Guild Education, designed to be a learning marketplace for employers and employees.
The Grow U program officially starts on February 24th, later this month, and will be offered to all employees, whether seasonal, part-time, or full-time. The program goes further to offer 100% fully-funded education in the Guilds Learning Marketplace, where applicable.
Deanna Partridge, Vice President of Talent Development at Hershcend Enterprises, had this to say on their release of this information:
“Whether it’s to pursue a new dream or advance their career with us, we care about our employees’ personal and professional growth, because we believe that their futures should be grown with love, not loans; Our team members’ success is our success – and that’s why we’re thrilled to make this benefit available to all, regardless of their role in the company and without the burden of debt.”
