Employee Scholar Program

Employee Scholar Program

UTC Fire & Security Asia believes in investing in the future of employees by providing them with education they can use for a lifetime.

Under the Employee Scholar Program (ESP), UTC pays the costs for employees who wish to further their studies. That includes 100 percent of registration and tuition at educational institutes that satisfy the Employee Scholar Program requirements, required academic fees and course-required books. 

A Degree in any Field
Employees can obtain a degree in any field - whether it be job-related or for personal interest. Be it a bachelor's degree in art or a graduate degree in physics, employees under the Employee Scholar Program can receive up to 50 percent of the total credit hours for all courses taken in an academic period as paid time off for studying, to a maximum of three hours per week. 

Rewards for Graduation
UTC further rewards Employee Scholars when they graduate. Upon completion of a qualifying bachelor's or graduate degree, graduates will receive an award of UTC stock. UTC understands that the cost of this educational program is a sound investment. Stock awards made to non-United States based employees are subject to additional rules.




 

 

“I am really grateful to UTC for giving me this gift: A free education plus UTC stock options when I graduate! I encourage every UTC employee to take part as it really is a chance of a lifetime!“
