Today, Kohl’s announced a new benefit program available to associates that will cover 100% of tuition, books, and other related fees as part of its debt-free education program. Beginning early spring, all eligible Kohl’s associates will be able to enroll in one of Kohl’s 120+ fully funded programs, where associates can earn certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor’s degrees in areas such as business, technology, data analytics, and supply chain. The program, powered by Guild Education, also offers courses for high school completion, college prep, English language, and more. Kohl’s will cover other related expenses, such as books and mandatory fees, to help offset other costs of continued education. The catalog of programs, which will be available through a curated selection of learning partners, was designed with Guild Education to help associates achieve their educational and professional goals without having financial barriers stand in the way.

Even as the pandemic continues to impact our economy and society, we are pleased to see Kohl’s remain committed to advancing the upskilling movement. We hope other businesses find innovative ways to promote upskilling during this difficult time.
