UPS LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Back in the late 1990s, UPS's Louisville air hub, known today as Worldport, was wrestling with a significant problem. Needing employees round-the-clock, the company was finding it difficult to retain workers for its overnight shifts. As it planned a much-needed expansion, the company knew the problem would only grow.
Key Points:
- Metropolitan College – a unique public-private partnership that dramatically increased retention among workers during the wee hours each night.
- The program also provided more than 22,000 students over the past 25 years the opportunity to earn a college degree 100% debt-free.
- The program launched in the fall semester of 1998 as a partnership among UofL, JCTC, UPS, Louisville Metro Government and the commonwealth of Kentucky.
- "In addition to paying for college, Metro College provides a student with a livelihood while they are in college," said Ty Handy, JCTC president.
