The Hormel Inspired Pathways Program
We created and run a program to provide scholarships and college advising for children of Hormel Foods team members.
After researching / gaining an full understanding of the challenge, our team worked with Hormel Foods to develop the Hormel Inspired Pathways program. Inspired Pathways grants two-year college degree program tuition to the dependent children of all Hormel Foods team members in the United States.
The program is designed to be inclusive of all dependent children of Hormel Foods team members, and is not based on achievement of a certain test score or GPA. The only requirements academically are that the student graduates from high school and meets the entry requirements of the community college. We also partner with community colleges in cities where we have operations to help better serve students. In addition to the tuition assurance program, program resources and community mentorship committees will be provided to bring resources to the students, including assistance with applications, internships and other career development opportunities.
From creating and leading online workshops for all children of Hormel Foods employees to creating print and digital reminders and promotional material, to administering the program, our team is proud to be deeply involved in every aspect of this incredible benefit.
