<p>I am currently an undergrad. I hear people say that employers can pay for graduate studies. how does it work? </p>
<p>-Do I approach them after a certain number of years?
-Do they approach me?
-Do most employers have the ability to fund, or is it just the larger companies? How do i found out if a particular company can do so. do they post it on their website?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No. Find out if they have a time requirement to be eligible.</p>
<p>
No, you have to be proactive about it.</p>
<p>If you are interviewing with companies, just ask the recruiter if they offer any kind of graduate school assistance.</p>
<p>If you are currently employed, you can start by searching their intranet for information or talk to HR. </p>

<p>I’ve found that the larger companies are more likely to fund your degree. For example, Lockheed Martin will provide financial assistance in exchange for proportional amount of time commitment to the company (i.e. 1 year of grad for 1 year of work after). Intel also offers financial assistance with no time commitment to the company requirement, according to the recruiter. Smaller companies may not have the capability to invest in you that much, but you should ask.</p>
<p>Some companies post that information on their website.</p>
<p>Your choice of schools may also be limited. For GE Aero, for example, you only have three schools in Ohio to choose from. Whether the company is willing to fund you depends upon your performance record with the company, of course.</p>
