ELC
Experiential Learning Credit Experience counts. Your employees can not only learn from their past, they can EARN from their past. Your employees have knowledge and skills that they have learned through their job experiences and your training programs. We value those learning experiences at the University of Memphis, and we can help employees translate that learning into college level course credit through our Experiential Learning Credit (ELC) Program. This benefit will help reduce degree costs and time of completion. Our team has worked with FedEx, Sedgwick and First Tennessee Bank to evaluate their current training modules. We welcome the opportunity to help you assess your existing training opportunities to determine college credit worthiness for your employees.
