Why not pay the employees more and allow them to decide if college or something else is a priority for them?

  For the same reason companies give perks of all kinds rather than simply giving employees cash. ...like having a free cafeteria or gym in the office. The perk provides a win-win by allowing for the company to have group bargaining power, as well as force the expenditure on something that also benefits the company. These programs are a win-win for the employee-employer relationship.

    Cafeterias and gyms within the office save employees time which then goes to working. Big win for the corporations. Going to college offsite, off hours doesn’t immediately benefit the corporation. The investment only benefits the company if the employee “moves up the ranks”. My understanding from the article is that the benefit is for front line employees. My guess is most do not care for college and would rather take in even 50% of the college tuition
