Employers are more interested in the skills & competencies of an individual than their degree.
In today's skilled workforce, employers are less interested in "what's your degree?" & more interested in "what skills do you have that can be put to work to benefit our organization?"

Want stickier employees?
Give them a vision for where their career could go, then equip them with the education to get there.
Don't just give employees skills for their current or next job.
Give them a picture of what their career trajectory could be with your company.
