Oklahoma
City, OK – June 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: Love’s
Travel Stops, in partnership with Guild,
is developing team members for the jobs they are in today while preparing
them for the careers they want down the road. The company is now offering
eligible U.S.-based full- and part-time team members access to tuition-free
education and skill development through a new learning program called “Fuel
Your Growth” through Guild, the leader in opportunity creation for America’s
workforce. Love’s is the first travel stop operator to offer a company-funded
tuition assistance program through Guild.
“When
we make the decision to hire someone, we intend to support them from the
day they are hired until they retire,” said Les
Thompson, chief human resources officer of Love’s. “By investing in
the growth of Love’s talented team, we meet them where they are in their
learning and development journey while eliminating prohibitive cost barriers.
Guild’s comprehensive and industry leading opportunities align with our
culture, and we are proud to continue to lead the way in benefits and career
opportunities.”
“Fuel
Your Growth” will be available to team members after approximately 30 days
of employment, provided they are in good standing with the company. The
Guild Career Opportunity Platform™ will help team members visualize their
growth and begin their learning journey by mapping a career path. The available
education and skilling programs are designed for working adults and help
employees balance work and learning simultaneously.
“A
program through Guild aligns with my goals of furthering my education,
which is important because it broadens my skill set and fosters creativity
and innovation which allows me to contribute fresh ideas and perspectives
in my Love’s career,” said Jacquie
Stamps, IT portfolio management analyst for Love’s. “Love’s investment
in my continued education is a personal commitment to my growth and signifies
the company values me not just as an employee but also as an individual.”
Through
the Guild platform, team members can complete high school degrees, undergraduate
degree programs, participate in bootcamps, obtain certifications and expand
how they connect with others through language learning classes. Additional
resources are available such as career services, one-on-one coaching support,
and much more.
“We’re
honored to partner with Love’s to help transform their workforce, address
the talent needs of their business, and support their employees on their
learning and career journeys,” said Terrence
Cummings, chief opportunity officer at Guild. “Love’s stands out as
an industry innovator, thinking big about how to harness opportunities
and foster mobility within their workforce through a skilling strategy
