Best Buy’s workforce is now immediately
eligible for benefits through Degrees@Work, powered by Strayer
University
Signaling its commitment to investing in the professional
well-being of its workforce, consumer electronics retailer Best Buy
today announced an expansion of its education benefits relationship
with Strayer University, an institution of higher learning for
working adult students. Best Buy’s expanded offering will provide
no-debt, no-cost-to-the-employee pathways to college degree options
for all full- and part-time Best Buy employees in the United States
through Strayer’s Degrees@Work program. Employees will have
immediate access on their first day of employment.
The Degrees@Work program offers eligible employees the
opportunity to take coursework or earn a certificate, associate,
bachelor’s or master’s degree from Strayer University. Best Buy
employees will have the opportunity to select from programs in
areas such as business and information technology and have programs
paid for directly by Best Buy. Employees will also have access,
through Strayer University, to Sophia Learning – an online,
on-demand, self-paced learning platform providing college-level
general education courses that are ACE-recommended for college
credit. Sophia courses can be applied towards their Strayer
University degree.
"Best Buy has always prioritized the growth and development of
our employees, and this expanded agreement covering Strayer’s
Degrees@Work program underscores that commitment while also
complementing our existing lineup of education benefits," said
Charlie Montreuil, Best Buy SVP of HR Rewards. "At Best Buy, we
believe that fostering continuous learning not only enhances
personal and professional growth but also contributes to an
inclusive and thriving workplace where everyone can succeed."
As the largest consumer electronics specialty retailer in North
America, Best Buy has been an industry leader in providing
education benefit options to its workforce. For over a decade, the
company has partnered with Strayer to provide their employees with
tuition discounts and reduced fees.
“We are proud to enhance our partnership with Best Buy,
providing their U.S. employees with the opportunity to earn a
college degree through the Degrees@Work program,” said Strayer
University President Dr. Toni Farmer-Thompson. “Tuition benefits
are a critical tool to help workers advance in their career and
employers stay competitive. This enhanced program may help more
Best Buy employees grow their professional skills, while pursuing
their educational goals.”
