Working for Dolly Parton certainly has its perks!<\/p>\n
Employees at her Dollywood theme park who want to “pursue further education” will soon have their tuition, fees and books covered.<\/p>\n
The program will launch on February 24th, and funding will be provided by Dollywood’s parent company Herschend Enterprises.<\/p>\n
This new program, called GROW U, will be available to employees at all 25 of Dollywood’s parks on their first day of employment whether they are seasonal, part-time or full-time.<\/p>\n
According to a release, the company is offering more than 100 fully-funded diploma, degree and certificate programs, and will also provide partial funding for 150 additional programs in fields such as hospitality, engineering, human resources and art design.<\/p>\n
