FLORENCE, AL - K8彩乐园和PCH酒店与度假村的官员签署了一份谅解备忘录(MOU),这将使所有寻求在线或校园就业机会的PCH酒店与度假村员工受益, graduate or undergraduate degree from UNA. Further, the agreement highlights the opportunity for employees to take part in UNA's New Start Scholarship program. Any PCH Hotels and Resorts employee who enrolls in two courses will qualify, and the first course will be free.
"We are fortunate at the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa to be in proximity to UNA, and we understand the value in this partnership and how it can benefit our employees," said Larry Bowser, General Manager of the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa. "For PCH more broadly, UNA has a large-scale online presence, which will allow them great opportunities to start or finish any number of degree programs."
PCH酒店及度假村成立于1999年,并发展管理万豪大酒店及度假村, which was financed by the Retirement Systems of Alabama. PCH now manages all eight hotels owned by RSA, which includes the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa.
该协议立即生效,并将允许PCH酒店和度假村的员工利用所有计划, both online and on-campus, as well as graduate and undergraduate, at UNA, while receiving a tuition scholarship to do so.
"UNA is pleased to officially sign this agreement with PCH Hotels and Resorts," said Dr. Ross Alexander, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. "UNA has developed multiple agreements, and, with PCH, 我们看到了通过让员工实现他们的教育目标来积极影响全州员工生活的机会. Further, this aligns with UNA's role as the workforce development leader in Alabama."
