Today, Workforce Edge, a complete employee education management
platform powered by Strategic Education, Inc., announced a
partnership with Caesars Entertainment Inc. to provide nearly
50,000 eligible U.S.-based Team Members access to low to no-cost
degrees through Strayer University and Capella University, as well
as other in-network degree programs, to support the
casino-entertainment giant’s robust tuition benefit campaign,
“All-In On Education.” Eligible U.S.-based Team Members will have
no out-of-pocket costs for Sophia Learning, an online and on-demand
learning platform providing general education-level courses to help
kick-start students’ educational journeys and pursuit of
professional development.
“Caesars Entertainment’s investment in its workforce through the
‘All-In On Education’ campaign will position it as the go-to
employer in the entertainment space for individuals looking to
advance their economic mobility,” said Terry McDonough, President,
Education Technology Services at Strategic Education. “We are
thrilled to support Caesars as they provide their eligible
workforce of nearly 50,000 Team Members with access to our
best-in-class tuition assistance platform, and we look forward to
our new partnership.”
In addition to the low to no-cost options at Strayer and
Capella, through this partnership, eligible Caesars Team Members
looking to gain professional and personal development can do so by
taking advantage of degree programs and reimbursement of eligible
educational expenses to lessen out-of-pocket tuition costs through
its Workforce Edge network of education programs. Eligible Caesars
full-time and part-time Team Members may also utilize their yearly
tuition assistance allocation to fund completing or starting a new
degree program at an accredited higher education institution of
their choice regardless of subject of study, a process that
will be managed through Workforce Edge.
“Through our partnership with Workforce Edge, we’re able to
expand and improve our education assistance to our Team Members at
Caesars Entertainment,” said Stephanie Lepori, Chief Administrative
and Accounting Officer, Caesars Entertainment. “The platform has
allowed us to create an easy-to-use and helpful portal for our
eligible Team Members where they can learn about the benefits that
are now being offered to them. We’re excited to continue to elevate
Caesars as a leading employer in the gaming and entertainment
space.”
Beginning July 6, 2022, eligible Caesars Team Members will be
able to take advantage of the tuition assistance benefits. For
participating Team Members, Workforce Edge will serve as the
one-stop-shop portal for Caesars to administer and disburse tuition
assistance benefits and aid the Company in better understanding the
impact of its investment.
