We want our caregivers to feel fulfilled at work and live their best lives. One of the ways we do this is by helping them realize their potential and achieve their highest career aspirations supported by a host of Providence Swedish education benefits. Tuition for education is expensive, and these benefits help caregivers more affordably gain new skills on their own terms, at a pace that makes sense for where they are in their lives, all while earning a paycheck.

Earn a high school diploma, a certificate or a college degree

Providence Swedish caregivers have access to the Education Benefit Program Benefit Program with Guild, a curated catalog of programs aligned to in-demand jobs and designed to support personal and professional growth. It gives caregivers the opportunity to further their education affordably with up to 100% tuition covered upfront for select, in-demand programs.

This expanded benefit program was made for busy working caregivers, so programs include flexible classes that fit any schedule. Here are options available to caregivers:

High school and college prep

• Earn a high school diploma
• Take college preparation courses with credits that transfer
• Take English Language Learning (ELL) or digital literacy courses

Certificate programs for priority roles

• Earn certificates in specialized areas, including medical billing & coding, behavioral health, and medical assistance

Undergraduate degrees

• Pursue college degrees such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing (to transition from RN to BSN), Respiratory Therapy or Radiologic Services
• Access fully funded select undergraduate degree programs
• Receive up to $5,250 for undergraduate degrees and select programs

Master’s degrees

• Get access to a variety of graduate degrees including Master of Science in Nursing, Social Work or Clinical Mental Health
• Receive up to $5,250 annually for Master’s degree programs

With all paths, 1:1 support is available from Guild education specialists who help with program selection, application submission and any questions caregivers may have.

Other tuition and education assistance at Providence Swedish

We support caregivers’ learning and development in several other ways. Our traditional tuition reimbursement benefit for caregivers is still available, giving eligible caregivers up to $5,250 in tuition reimbursement annually for qualifying education expenses.

Additionally, all caregiver service qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). We partner with Tuition.io to help caregivers manage student loans. Parents of college-bound children can also use Tuition.io to learn how to save and pay for tuition.

We also partner with the University of Providence (UP) to offer a variety of online and in-person education opportunities for caregivers and their dependents . Caregivers who pursue education at UP can access immediate tuition reimbursement, receiving funds at the beginning of the term.

And we offer resources like our Providence internal Rise learning platform with a virtual Career Center to help caregivers assess their skills and interests, explore career options and develop a path toward achieving their ideal job.
