Continuing Education

A Continuing Education policy explains how your organization supports job-related learning through approved courses, certifications, and other development opportunities, including eligibility rules, pre-approval steps, and reimbursement limits that may vary by role, budget, and jurisdiction.

How to Write a Continuing Education Policy

• Start with "why" and introduce the concept.
• Define the types of continuing education your organization may support.
• Explain what costs may be reimbursed.
• State that eligibility and available support can vary by role and budget.
• Require pre-approval before employees enroll or register.
