STARBUCKS will now pay full tuition for its workers to get a degree from Arizona State University online, instead of just partially footing the bill, giving it another way to entice employees in a tightening labour market.

Employees who work at least 20 hours a week will be eligible to have full tuition, the company said in a statement on Monday. Starbucks founded the college programme in 2014, with full-tuition reimbursement available only to juniors and seniors, while students in their first two years got a stipend of US$6,500 to cover about half their fees.
