GREENVILLE, S.C. – South Carolina-based convenience store retailer, Spinx, has rolled out a new Business Management program, open to students working toward a degree in business.

The program is designed to provide students with invaluable experience and a clear path of career opportunity, as well as comprehensive tuition reimbursement and weekly paychecks. Students can be employed full- or part-time at Spinx while completing their coursework. Participating students will develop skills in effective collaboration, critical thinking and decision-making, business and financial analysis, strategy development, economics and leadership.

"According to the National Retail Federation, the retail industry outpaces both the health-care industry and manufacturing with over 28 million jobs in the U.S.," said Tracie Lilly, chief human resource officer at Spinx. "The Spinx Business Management Program allows students to capitalize on that in-demand career path by gaining real world experience while earning their degree."   

Participants in the Spinx Business Management Program are eligible for a higher starting wage and can take advantage of the Spinx Tuition Reimbursement Program, which helps offset the cost of schooling.
