INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: John Blake, Manager FROM: Cerek Villagran, Employee DATE: 10/09/23 SUBJECT. Request for Tuition Reimbursement for Part-Time College I am writing to you today to propose an opportunity that would not only benefit me but as well as this company. After working for this company for a few years now, I feel as an employee that I have reached my limits with the knowledge that I have. I want to further development my skills and my knowledge so that I can grow as an employee and contribute more effectively to our organization. I believe I have found an opportunity for this further development so that my knowledge can grow, as well as spread it throughout our company which can positively impact our success here. The opportunity that I am providing here today has to do with me extending my college education on a part time basis and I can’t do so without your support. With this I aim to enhance my working skills, deepen my knowledge throughout the industry, and to provide innovative skills and propositions to our workplace. There was an article I saw online that said many companies, such as ours, offer reimbursement for fees and books when an employee completes approved courses with a grade “C” or higher. If I were to be approved and were to take such courses, I could bring what I learn from them and apply them to our workplace and this knowledge would spread throughout our workplace, with our employees adapting these new skills. This additional expertise will encourage me to take on more complex challenges more effectively and contribute more significantly to projects and group settings that we may have here. As I stated earlier, I am required to complete approved courses with a grade “C” or better. I do not take this lightly and I am more than dedicated to achieving this to ensure that there is a positive return for this company’s investment of me and my education. I kindly request your approval so that I may enroll in such approved courses which are relevant to me here at this company. I have found many that align with our companies demands and am willing to provide you with the information of them. I thank you for considering my request and am willing to meet at your convenience to discuss this proposal even further if necessary. Words: 396
