This Ivy League university contributes 10% of exempt employees' annual salaries into retirement accounts on their first day of employment. And $2,500 is budgeted annually for each employee's continued development in his current position. In addition, employees have access to Cornell's courses for free. The Technology Scholarship Program provides up to an additional $2,500 in funding for courses and conferences not within an employee's immediate technological area but that might help in their careers. A class called Effectively Managing Your Career provides self-assessment tools and information so employees can find jobs either within the IT department or other parts of Cornell.
