For example, an employer may offer to pay or reimburse its employees to continue or advance their education in order to promote from within. One industry that is known for encouraging continuing education in order to promote is the Banking and Finance industry. Banks will encourage tellers to increase their potential by attending a local college or university and taking accounting courses.
