The Enrollment Fee Reimbursement program provides SRJC employees with an opportunity to improve skills and increase knowledge by enrolling in SRJC courses which are directly job related.

Examples of eligible courses could include classes on software training needed for work; classes in accounting, leadership, and supervision; Spanish or other language acquisition courses; and classes aimed at improving health and wellness may be covered as well.
