Local Businesses Partner with Roberts for Corporate Partnership Program

As part of its 2016-21 strategic plan, Roberts Wesleyan College launched its Corporate Partnership program earlier this year. To date, Roberts has signed on 14 organizations, including Rochester Regional Health and the YMCA of Greater Rochester, two of the area’s largest employers. The purpose of the program is to provide affordable and accessible educational opportunities to local businesses and their team members looking to advance their education.

“I am elated to offer this professional development opportunity to our employees who are regarded as cause-driven leaders,” said Fernan R. Cepero, chief human resources and diversity officer at the YMCA of Greater Rochester. “Several of our management team and volunteers are alumni of Roberts and the knowledge they bring to our organization is invaluable. To enter into a partnership with the college today will ensure a bench strength for future leaders of tomorrow.” 

With this partnership, qualifying employees will receive the following benefits at Roberts Wesleyan College:

• An exclusive 25 percent discount for benefit-eligible employees, spouses and dependents, which can be combined with corporate tuition-assistance programs.

• Accelerated, part-time and full-time classroom and online options designed to support work-life balance.

• Experience and mentorship with faculty who have real-world perspectives and who focus on students and their success.

• 60+ undergrad majors, 15 graduate programs, four bachelor's completion programs and a Doctor of Psychology program.
