Whether you’re preparing for a child’s college journey or continuing your own education, this is an exciting milestone. With a little planning and the right support, you can feel confident about the financial, academic, and personal steps ahead.
Steps to Get Started
1. Explore financial planning tools
College costs can add up quickly, so it’s important to understand your options early. Review your savings strategy, estimate expenses, and look into ways to reduce future debt.
2. Take advantage of student loan support
Eligible employees can refinance existing student loans through CommonBond to potentially secure lower interest rates. You can check your rate with no obligation, and those who refinance may qualify for a $200 cash bonus.
3. Build skills for future success
Whether preparing for college coursework or thinking ahead to career goals, continuous learning can make a big difference. Ferrotec offers LinkedIn Learning with a wide range of courses to help develop academic, technical, and professional skills.
Ferrotec may offer tuition reimbursement to eligible employees who choose to continue their education as part of their development plan.
4. Get personalized emotional and family support
If you have questions about college planning, family transitions, or managing stress, support is available through the Employee Assistance Program with Telus Health.
5. Use Life Concierge support for college planning
The Life Concierge Services through Overalls can help you navigate the college journey with personalized resources and referrals. This includes support with school research, application timelines, financial aid guidance, and parenting resources—saving you time and helping you make confident decisions.
