I read a book some time ago and the gentlemen said that he got an education because his job paid for it and i thought 'yes maybe they did that in the 90's but that never happens anymore'. Then i remember that my cousin had a friend who had a jon that paid for his degree.
So my question is how do these luck people get Jobs/Careers that pay for their education?
Apprenticeship in construction, trade and landscaping offer paid education while working for the company, depending on the employer & contract.
You never mentioned what field you're in.
If you look at his post history, I don't think he knows what field he's in … but he's definitely not the insurance field
It's a bit early for me to stalk now.
Nor one that requires research skills.
Such opportunities exist in all sorts of companies, e.g. small family businesses, large multinationals, government.
Also, it's not really about luck. It depends on how valuable you are to the business, and how much more valuable you would be after further education. Picking a business that is a) highly profitable, and/or b) has a culture of investing in their employees, would improve your prospects.
Generally, you'll enter into an agreement to remain at the same employer for x years after you have finished studying.
Armed services, however, you will need to commit to them for a certain period of time.
The Federal Public Service does it quite a bit.
There are apprenticeships in the APS that will train you in IT.
There are also Cadetships where you do a degree and study but these have declined.
The APS will also pay for people do a Masters. However this is up to departmental and area discretion.
The big banks will also pay for people to study while working there.
Government jobs often have study assistance as part of their standard enterprise agreement benefits. That’s how I got my Masters paid for less than 10 years ago.
Federal govt?
State govt had "study assistance" but they definitely didn't pay course fees for your degree
It was a government enterprise part owned by federal and all the states. They allowed up to a few thousand dollars (can’t remember exactly how much) a year so it depends on how expensive the course is. Mine wasn’t that expensive and I only did one subject a semester while working.
Didn’t work for them but just an example
http://www.fedcourt.gov.au/about/employment/enterprise-agree…
60.1. The Court will support employees who wish to pursue studies that are assessed as relevant to the Court's operations through its studies assistance program.
60.2. The program provides financial assistance for study costs of up to $4,500 pa and access to flexible work arrangements for study purposes. Employees may access study leave of up to six hours per week to cover travel and study. Leave may also be provided for exam attendance and thesis preparation/ presentation. Further information is available in the Court's Study Assistance Policy. Study assistance will generally only be approved for ongoing employees.
I'm A STUDENT so i don't see myself as in a FIELD. but im an engineering major
Do you have a reason for an employer to invest in you?
sien WHATS APS
Australian Public Service = Government Jobs
Banks.
Start at a call centre and work your way up.
i work for a govt department. whilst i did postgrad psych my work paid me when i went to lectures (as they considered that the knowledge i was acquiring was beneficial in the department i was in). They didnt pay for my fees, but Because of that recognition i could claim uni expenses on tax. Also my HECS/HELP fees were then also a deduction. The dept i work for used to pay the fees for people studying the depts core area of work, u sure if thwy still do.
what department do you work for, if its not to much to ask
Most multinational Engineering companies provide a structured graduate program when you join that will provide you the learning and development you need for the first 3 years of your career. After that, and if you show good progress and iniative, you will be promoted to Engineer level and can then apply for additional development, whether that's a Masters degree, specialised tools/software training or start your journey to chartership and hence Senior level. It's all sponsored and paid by them including giving you paid time off to study. Previously you had to sign an agreement to stay with the company for 2-3 years but I believe it's a grey area if that's actually legal and now they just make you sign a waiver that if you leave within 2-3 years, you must repay all costs of the courses taken back.
It's reasonably common for the large accountancies to pay for law degrees. I worked with a guy whose law degree was paid for a multimillion dollar, multi-year tax case over whether partitions were permanent fixtures.
Are they?
A toilet that pays for your education, I’d sign up for that
Get a job at a uni, imagine the fees are waived then, and prob allocate you time to attend
You probably won’t be getting any perks like free education from your employer with that kind of attitude. You sound quite young and have a lot to learn – why not remove that chip on your shoulder, knuckle down and study hard, and go to careers expos? Be an asset to your employer so they have a reason to keep you around.
Go join the Military, as an Officer recruit and if you suit, they give you a degree out of many choices. Paid to learn, not just free tuition but with free food & medical too.
With the APS providing IT apprenticeships, could i get a link because i've checked and haven't been able to find anything.
What education are we talking about? Specific skills (e.g. negotiation, sales, communication)? Diploma, degree, MBA?
Find a job that 1. you can add a lot of value to the job and 2. add a lot of value to the job. The business/your manager/manager's manager, etc. will see the value you add and pander to your wishes or think that investing in you can add even more value, and they will pay for your further education.
The larger the organisation, the more senior you are, the more likely you'll get support for the more advanced further education.
