Recently, Elizabethtown College’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS) partnered with the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania (CAAP) to offer a 15% tuition discount on educational programs that enhance the skills and professional development of all employees and members of CAAP, along with their spouses and dependents.
“The immense value that the employees provide at their member agencies across the state can’t be understated and is incredibly appreciated,” Elizabethtown College Director of Corporate Partnerships, Chris D’Imperio said. “We are honored to give back to these individuals and their families the opportunity to take advantage of exceptional educational opportunities through our School of Graduate and Professional Studies.”
CAAP is a statewide membership organization representing 42 Community Action Agencies in the Commonwealth that help low-income individuals and families reach and maintain self-sufficiency.
“We’re excited to partner with Elizabethtown College to expand educational opportunities for Community Action professionals across Pennsylvania,” Beck Moore, CEO, Community Action Association of Pennsylvania, said. “Investing in the professional growth of the staff strengthens our agencies’ impact and reflects our shared commitment to developing strong leaders and building resilient communities throughout the Commonwealth.”
The tuition discount will apply to SGPS undergraduate and graduate-level programs, as well as the micro-credentialing platform Etown Edge, which offers over 300 affordable courses through self-paced modules across a variety of in-demand fields.
Etown SGPS offers a Graduate Certificate in Non-Profit Leadership, designed to equip and support current and aspiring non-profit leaders who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities, with the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in the field.
The four-course, 12-credit graduate certificate, developed in partnership with The High Center at Elizabethtown College’s Nonprofit Center, provides learners with expertise in financial stewardship, fundraising, ethical governance, board management, storytelling, legislative advocacy, and more.
For more than 70 years, SGPS has had a direct and positive impact on the workforce and economy of both Lancaster County and throughout the southcentral Pennsylvania region by offering convenient and flexible undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as micro-credential options specifically designed to meet the needs of busy working adults. Courses are taught by faculty who are working professionals in the fields in which they teach, ensuring that content is current and highly applicable.
