Dolly Parton Pays College Tuition For Employees At Dollywood
Newsy
The program will be open to all of the company's 11,000 seasonal, part-time and full-time employees.
Being employed by Dolly Parton might seem like its own reward, but people working at the country music superstar's Dollywood theme park just received another fantastic perk.
Herschend Enterprises, the operating partner behind the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, attraction, announced that it will start covering 100% of tuition, fees and books for any employees who wish to further their schooling, beginning this month.
"Herschend's Grow U." will offer free access to more than 100 degree and certificate programs, in areas such as business administration, finance, technology and marketing. In addition, the company will provide up to $5,250 a year for school programs in other fields, like hospitality, engineering and art design.
