Indiana-based Wabash National Corporation has announced a new corporate partnership with Indiana Tech to provide financial assistance to associates who seek to further their education.
The partnership is being conducted through Indiana Tech’s College of Professional Studies and will allow full-time Wabash National associates to avoid upfront, out-of-pocket expenses for books, fees and tuition.
“Our associates are the backbone of Wabash National’s business,” says Dick Giromini, chief executive officer. “We want them to grow, develop and achieve their goals, which is why we offer a number of associate development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement, welding school, and leadership and training programs.
“This partnership with Indiana Tech is significant, as it demonstrates the value that we place upon their long-term success by removing some of the upfront financial costs associated with pursuing an education,” he adds. “Wabash National and Indiana Tech share an understanding of the critical importance of higher education in workforce development. We are confident this new program will help develop the next generation of Wabash National leaders.”
Located in Lafayette, Ind., Wabash National is located just 2.5 hours from Indiana Tech.
