Professional Certifications

To encourage and support a more proactive learning culture, Human Resource would modify the Tuition Assistance Policy to include work-related professional certifications. This expansion of the Tuition Assistance policy would supplement employee developmental needs that are not covered by existing department budgets. 

Funding work-related professional certifications will enable City departments to expand their knowledge base and grow expertise among existing employees. It will also nurture a continuous learning environment while preparing employees for future opportunities and broaden their skill set for possible promotions.
