Kion North America<\/a> and Charleston Southern University have held a signing ceremony at Kion NA<\/a>\u2019s stateside headquarters in Summerville celebrating a new tuition discount program.<\/p>\n

The memorandum of understanding offers Kion NA<\/a> employees a 25 percent discount for a degree program at Charleston Southern.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis opportunity extended to Kion NA<\/a> employees is a symbol of Charleston Southern\u2019s dedication to meeting the needs of our workforce,\u201d Keith Faulkner, president of CSU, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy partnering with Kion NA<\/a>, we are able to provide pathways in career advancement. This is an investment in students and our community, and furthers our goal to serve international businesses right here in the Charleston metro region.\u201d<\/p>\n

All permanent, full-time employees of Kion North America<\/a> who are accepted by Charleston Southern University can enjoy a 25% reduction of tuition for the following undergraduate programs: hospitality and tourism (BS), management (BS), professional studies (BS), project management (BS), and student ministry (BA). These courses are provided fully online.<\/p>\n

In addition to undergraduate degrees, employees can also choose from 17 online and on-campus graduate programs, including biology, business, business analytics, computer science, leadership, nursing, and supply chain management.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Kion North America<\/a>, we have a heavy focus on continuous improvement. Whether it\u2019s related to our product, processes, or our people we encourage development. This agreement with Charleston Southern serve as both a reminder and resource for our people to prioritize their growth alongside that of our business,\u201d states Jonathan Dawley, President and CEO of Kion NA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that many of our team members take advantage of this unique program paired with our generous Tuition Assistance benefit. I am very excited to see what we accomplish having invested in ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

In March, Charleston Southern launched Global Charleston, a center that serves international businesses and residents. It serves the community by supporting international residents who come to the Charleston area to establish internal companies through a variety of ways, including information about complex relocation processes, an online directory, learning opportunities, and more. Kion North America<\/a> began its relationship with CSU as a major sponsor of Global Charleston.<\/p>\n

At the grand opening, Stephanie LeVan, director of Global Charleston, said, \u201cThis center serves as a declaration to our global partners that the Charleston Metro area walks in the ancient, proven, well-worn paths of friendship, respect, trade, and diplomacy,\u201d LeVan said to a crowd of global leaders and supporters on Friday.<\/p>\n

Kion North America and Charleston Southern University have held a signing ceremony at Kion NA\u2019s stateside headquarters in Summerville celebrating a new tuition discount program. The memorandum of understanding offers Kion NA employees a 25 percent discount for a degree program at Charleston Southern.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThese pillars have built good will among nations for centuries, and we rely on these same pillars today as they have created the strong, vibrant, gloriously global community that we call home. Our mission at Charleston Southern and at Global Charleston is to strengthen these ties that bind us in our region and ensure that the global community is served well not only with the information they need to live, but with information they need to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Schlegel, vice president of operations and customer service for Kion North America, said that Global Charleston is important to the community and to Charleston Southern. He shared a personal story of being an immigrant from Germany\u2014first on a work visa and, ultimately, successfully working toward American citizenship. During his acclimation to life in the United States, he had a few roadblocks due to lack of guidance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you come here for business, and you have other things to worry about, it is great having a resource that can help you take care of things\u2014and having a place where you can talk to people who have experience and can guide you along,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
