The kids’ bags are packed, and pencils are sharpened. School is almost back in session. So, what’s preventing you from taking the next step to further your education? It’s time to bust the myths that might be stopping you from heading back to class.

MYTH: You don’t have time.

FACT: Many courses are now available online, saving you time. If you can’t make it to campus, check out opportunities to pursue your education online. And if you decide to take classes in your community, talk to your manager about possibly adjusting your schedule.

MYTH: It’s too expensive.

FACT: Although there’s a cost associated with getting your degree and taking online courses, Publix can help make it more affordable. We’re proud to offer tuition reimbursement for occupational and technical programs, undergraduate and graduate degrees, GED exams or individual courses to eligible associates.
