Chipotle is investing in new education benefits for its employees who are studying business and technology with a new program that will pay tuition up front.

"Chipotle recognizes that financial barriers can be one of the biggest obstacles that impede our employees from achieving their fullest potential," Marissa Andrada, chief people officer for the company, said in a statement."We are proud to launch this opportunity for debt-free degrees by providing free tuition to help our employees excel in all areas in their lives, both in and out of Chipotle.

The company will offer employees the debt-free degree opportunity, after 120 days of employment, to pursue degrees from leading nonprofit, accredited universities, including The University of Arizona, Bellevue University, Brandman University, Southern New Hampshire University and Wilmington University.

One Chipotle employee in New York City, Brice Widger, who had two majors with multiple credits, said he was"debating whether or not to go back and pursue my degree." Widger said with the accelerated program through Bellevue University and Chipotle's tuition assistance, the decision was easy.
