Get even more out of life with these benefits and programmes from Gen.
Education reimbursement
At Gen, we recognise that forward-looking learning, development, and education build upon individual strengths to help foster an innovative team and a culture of continued enlightenment. We also recognise that the responsibility for growth and development lies jointly with you and Gen.
How it works
Gen offers reimbursement up to €6,000 per year for college entrance exams, exam preparation courses, and job-related courses leading to a degree, including AA, AS, BA, BS, MBA, diploma, graduate diploma, or doctorate, from an accredited college or university. The course work must directly relate to your career development within Gen.
Gen also offers reimbursement for nondegree programmes, such as certifications and skills-based courses, provided the certification aligns with your individual development plan shared with your people leader. This includes refresher courses and courses to achieve your career goals, to meet local or regional legal requirements, and, where applicable, to align with your contract.
For details on how to apply for reimbursement, visit the education reimbursement page on Gen Central.
