RehabCare Offers Tuition Assistance
Previously we have written blogs about RehabCare’s Opportunity U program. Tooting our own horn when mentioning the program is one thing, but we thought you might want to hear from a student who is currently enrolled in the program. So, here is what a May 2010 graduate has to say about her experience with RehabCare’s Tuition Assistance program.
What convinced you to enroll in the Tuition Assistance Program with
RehabCare?
“My department chair first told me about RehabCare as a possible option I may want to pursue to assist in paying for my continued education. I liked the option to receive assistance now, and the comfort in knowing I would have a job waiting for me when I graduated.”
Describe the communication/support RehabCare representatives provide to you
during your schooling.
“I receive calls during the semester, and a steady flow of emails, regarding my success in school and inquiries as to how things are going. The Student Liaison always pleasantly offers assistance and answers any questions I may have, as well as encourages me to call anytime. Recently, a representative has been working with my clinic site to set up off site placement for clinical experience with a RehabCare employee. What a great opportunity!”
If you were speaking to another student about RehabCare’s Tuition
Assistance program, what would you say?
“I actually have done this several times, and one has already signed on with RehabCare herself. I tell other students of the benefits outlined on the website, the tuition assistance program, and the availability of jobs around the country. At the very least, I encourage them to call a representative, or fill out the information request on the website. From my department, students are stressed enough by the level of
academia; adding a job search on top of that is very stressful. While I still expect to interview with potential RehabCare sites, I have less stress knowing I will receive a position.”
Do you have any additional thoughts?
“I have spoken with various RehabCare employees, and all seem very happy with their choice in employer. Overall, I am thankful companies such as RehabCare exist, and offer programs like the Tuition Assistance program. Furthermore, I am very satisfied with the representatives I have had the pleasure to work with, and my future opportunities with RehabCare.”
