Education Reimbursement Guidelines and Application
The Ohio Grocers Foundation’s (OGF) Continuing Education Reimbursement Program (CERP) was first introduced in 2003. Since that time, OGF has awarded over $70,000 in funding to OGA members employees.
CERP is reimbursement for employers (and employees) who enhance their current position with additional training (for example, certifications and licenses), as well as any continuing education (such as software classes).
The primary goal of the OGF Education and Tuition Reimbursement Program is to provide financial support to individuals who wish to enhance skills, increase job knowledge and further careers in the food industry. Starting in 2018, OGF will also reimburse companies who would like to provide continuing education opportunities and job enhancement for their employees.
The Education and Tuition Guidelines and Application allow for input from the store owner or manager on an employee's potential career path and/or possible opportunities for growth. Reimbursement is available for individuals as well as companies, and minimum eligibility requirements include:
CERP Application Deadlines:
1st Quarter April 15
2nd Quarter July 15
3rd Quarter October 15
4th Quarter January 15
