    Ability Beyond Disability partners with Post University

    We are pleased to announce the launch of a new partnership with Post University! As a new participant in Post University’s Partners in Education Program, we will be able to offer our employees and their families access to quality higher education at a reduced tuition rate.

    Employees of Ability Beyond Disability will be able to earn an associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s degree by enrolling in one of Post University’s Accelerated Degree Programs at a 10% discount off of the regular tuition rates. This discounted tuition rate will also be offered to immediate family members of Ability Beyond Disability employees. Additionally, all eligible full-time employees are entitled to utilize our Tuition Reimbursement.

    “Workforce Development is always working to identify opportunities for our employees to develop their careers and further their education,” said Rebecca Cosgrove, Workforce Development Supervisor. “This program is just another way that we can help encourage our employees in their educational pursuits which will help them to advance their careers.”

    Employees will have the option of taking courses at one of the university’s regional locations or completely online. They can earn a master’s degree in as little as 14 months, and a bachelor’s degree in as little as 18 months. Ability Beyond Disability Employees will also receive college credit for select, pre-approved internal in-service trainings, as well as for courses taken at other accredited colleges or universities.

    “We are delighted to offer this partnership to our employees and will continue to work towards identifying similar opportunities in Connecticut and New York,” said Cosgrove.
