A Question About Graduate Certificate
A Question About Graduate Certificate
(OP)
I am currently considering getting a masters degree & working at the same time. My company will help to cover some of the costs of graduate school. Like most companies mine will cover the full cost of any required training (40-hour HAZWOPER, first aid ...) or certifications that help the company attain work (USACE CQM).
My question for the more senior engineers out there; would you consider a Graduate Certificate a certification that the company would be willing to pay for?
I know that for most certifications the employer can tie it to a specific project or field of work. But would consider paying the full tuition costs for an employee's Graduate Certificate?
My company is mainly an environmental remediation & construction company, but they are looking to expand their services with more highway work and currently have to sub out a lot of the geotech work. So I'm looking at getting a master's degree in a geotech specialty to try to keep more of this work in-house & myself busy. And hopefully down the line be "The" company geotech engineer.
Thanks.

Anything beyond a short course they evaluate on a person by person basis.

I'm going to be talking to my boss & HR about this. I was just curious if anyone else had gotten full funding for a graduate certificate.
Everyone else,
Thanks for the input.
