Despite growing economic uncertainty, employers are still waging a war for talent, and employees are coming out ahead.
Now, more businesses are expanding their benefit offerings with free college programs to attract and retain workers.
Most recently, Fidelity Investments said it will offer fully funded undergraduate degrees to 18,000 employees, including entry-level customer service phone representatives. The company, which already offered student debt repayment, will cover the upfront costs for tuition, books and fees at select two- and four-year schools, avoiding the need for reimbursement.
