Dollywood employees will soon be eligible to receive tuition free of charge

Dollywood employees who wish to continue their education can now apply for tuition, books, and fees free of charge for certain programs.

The initiative was announced Tuesday and will help pay for education costs for all Dolly Parton resort employees in Tennessee as well as other subsidiaries of parent company Herschend Enterprises. These include the Harlem Globetrotters in Kentucky and the Newport Aquarium of Kentucky.

The 11,000 employees of the company are eligible to participate in the program. It will be officially launched on February 24, according to the company.

Andrew Wexler, CEO of Herschend Enterprises, stated that employees are encouraged to "go after a dream" or "promote their careers with us." Their futures should be cultivated with love and not loans, according to us.

The initiative, called "Herschend's grow U.," provides eligible employees with free access to more 100 fully-funded diploma, degree, and certificate programs through Guild's Learning Marketplace. The programs include marketing, finance, technology, and business administration. Guild's Learning Marketplace will also provide funding for up to $5250 per annum for additional programs in engineering, hospitality, and human resources.

Natalie McCullough (president and chief commercial officer at Guild Education) said, "With this program Herschend is preparing their workforce for the jobs that the future holds with new skills, mobility opportunities, and other capabilities."
