Assume your organization is considering reimbursing workers for tuition and fees for job-related courses.

As director of education and training, you will present to company executives a review of pros and cons for the program. To prepare, you have composed a list of questions you know they may have. Pick a specific organization that you know something about, and answer the following questions about it.

1. What do people do on the job? What courses or degrees could help them do their current jobs even better?

2. How much education do people already have? How do they feel about formal schooling?

3. How busy are employees? Will most have time to take classes and study in addition to working 40 hours a week (or more)?

4. Is it realistic to think that people who get more education would get higher salaries? Or is money for increases limited? Is it reasonable to think that most people could be promoted? Or does the organization have many more low-level than high-level jobs?
