Travis County recognizes the benefits of an employee tuition reimbursement policy to improve public services through the enhancement of skills of the public servant, and to retain qualified and highly motivated personnel. In May 2018, as part of an ongoing effort to improve and automate manual processes, the Travis County Auditor’s Office, in conjunction with the County’s Human Resources Management Department (HRMD), implemented an online Tuition Reimbursement Program. This in-house designed and developed application, accessible to employees though the County’s Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal, provides employees and program administrators the ability to request, monitor and report on tuition reimbursements requests.
