“Partnering with Athens State University has been wonderful for our employees. They now have the opportunity to pursue education in a more flexible and affordable way. In turn, the Health System has been able to foster workforce development from a new approach while meeting the needs of our employees who want to further their skills and maintaining employment. By creating this partnership and offering a discount, we have improved employee retention and enhanced recruitment efforts. Even better, the process for applying for the discount is user friendly for both employees and the HR representatives who complete the applications. We are thrilled to have this relationship with ASU and look forward to even more collaboration in the future!”
