Current Employer Continuing Education Tuition Support???
(OP)
I will be assisting a committee at my company to address policy for tuition support. The questions we'll be asking are:
How much to provide,
Should the company expect repayment if the employee leaves within two years, and
Incentives to get people started.
If you can respond based on your company's benefit structure, that would be great.
Thank you for your time.

Must be pre-approved as related to your current position, max $600 per semester, max two classes per semester, max $6,000 total. Must repay any reimbursement received in the twelve months prior to termination/resignation. The reimbursement is pro-rated based on grade achieved: A = 100%, B = 75%, C = 50%, Pass in a Pass/Fail Grading System = 50%, below a C or Fail = 0%.
Considering the cost of college today, it is not much but on the other hand every little bit helps. Our company has a very large number of aircraft mechanics and that is the target group for reimbursement. You can see that they don't expect very many folks from that group to go to engineering school. Most of the users opt for basic management courses to help them become leads/supervisors/managers in the maintenance arena.

No repayment is expected if you leave... I guess they figure they'll still have gotten their money's worth if you leave early.

My current employer's policy:
Eligible for tuition reimbursement after being employed for 6 months. You don't have to pay it back if you stay employed with the company for 6 months following the end of the course. $600 per Graduate course & $400 per Undergrad course. You need prior approval from you Manager for the course. You receive full reimbursement for a grade of C or higher.
My previous employer's policy:
No reimbursements, but they would offer a 0% loan for the costs & take a portion out of each paycheck until it was paid off. The amount withheld per paycheck would've been negotiated (I'm assuming - I never took them up on it).
