Starbucks Sends Employees to College

Starbucks is sending 1,000 employees to college next week. They are the first wave of workers who will get online classes at Arizona State University all - or partly paid for by the coffee chain.

Under the program, any employee who works at least 20 hours a week is eligible for the education plan.

Starbucks calls the move an investment, but the employees are not required to stay with the company after graduation.
