Education Benefits

Education benefits can be critical to attracting and retaining the highest quality employees. The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) helps you ensure that these benefits are wise investments in future talent.

 

Motivate Employees to Earn College Degrees and Credentials Faster

Fill mission-critical positions quickly by helping employees receive needed education and training fast. When you use CAEL’s Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) resource, LearningCounts.org, your employees may be able to receive college credit for prior training and on-the-job learning or for learning gained in volunteer activities—and you can avoid paying twice for the same learning, saving substantial dollars on training and tuition reimbursement.

LearningCounts.org helps you:

  • Improve the Bottom Line—Increase retention by investing in employees and avoid duplication of training dollars

  • Teach Employees the Value of Learning—A visit to LearningCounts.org helps your employees understand PLA and how they can get college credit for what they already know

  • Provide Expert Advice—Employees can spend time one-on-one with an expert advisor to find out how much credit they may already have

  • Keep Employees Engaged—Education and college credit are valuable benefits to give to your employees, helping them become better leaders and move within your organization

To promote usage of PLA, make sure that it is covered by your organization's tuition policy. Download a sample tuition policy statement regarding PLA.

When you use EdLink—a joint venture of CAEL and ACT—you get tuition benefit administration that is easy to manage, drives cost savings, provides detailed information, and builds a strategic approach to support talent management and validate your return on investment.
