"We are strongly committed to workforce development for all employees seeking to grow and advance. By strengthening our staff, we are strengthening the support available to those individuals and families who trust us to provide care."
This agreement offers several educational benefits to North Suffolk Community Services employees and their families, including incentives for preceptors, discounted tuition for Regis online and hybrid degree programs, a flexible transfer policy for adult degree completion, and customized academic consulting to support professional development and corporate goals.
