We have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what we can do to improve for our customers. And we’ve come to the conclusion the best way to do our best work for our customers, is to do our best work for our employees. (Read about our new Health Initiative.) So when Fiat-Chrysler decided to designate the South East region as the first allowed to enroll in their partnership with Strayer University entitled “Degrees At Work,” we immediately started researching the option.
Now, after extensive time reading up on Strayer University’s program, Milton Ruben Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Augusta, GA is proud to announce that we have opted in to FCA’s idea, and are now offering fully-funded college-level courses to our full-time employees.
FCA’s Degrees At Work program offers a wide range of courses, including both online and on campus opportunities to put the best schedule to work for you, and meet a variety of learning styles’ needs. Employees who decide to take advantage of this program can pursue a broad spectrum of degrees – from an Associate’s degree in Information Technology, to a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, or even a Master’s degree in Business Administration.
Augusta, GA’s Strayer University Campus is on Augusta West Pkwy near Television Park.
So far, we already have multiple employees beginning classes this year. Bridget Jones, of our Chrysler Cashier office, will begin studying Health Administration on July 1st.
“I think Milton Ruben starting this program is a great opportunity for employees to advance their careers,” Bridget Jones shared. “It’s motivation for employees too – [Milton Ruben] giving back to help us go to school.” Jones will be completing a previously started degree.

Elkin Vanegas, Service Advisor, intends on transferring from another online curriculum this fall to finish a degree in Business Management. “There’s not that many companies willing to pay for your education – it’s a huge benefit to working here.”
The program is flexible to fit a full-time work schedule, and covers all expenses, including books.
