(CNN) — Target has announced that it will begin paying the college tuition and textbook expenses for its US-based part-time and full-time employees who attend select schools.

The retail giant is following the lead of other large US companies offering more benefits to attract and retain talent in a tight job market.

Starting as early as their first day on the job, more than 340,000 employees at Target stores and distribution centers will now be able to choose from 250 programs at over 40 schools and universities across the country, and they won’t have to pay a dollar, Target said in a news release.

Interesting, I wonder what schools and programs as it says over 40 schools while there are 3,900 colleges in the U.S.

Me too. It looks like Walmart is doing a similar program. I think it’s a good idea and while I’m sure they get something in return, I like it when big corporations do something that benefits it’s workers.
