Educational Assistance Program

The Dutra Group encourages employees to take advantage of educational opportunities. Whether it’s college classes to complete an accounting degree or tutoring to obtain a Professional Engineer license, we are happy to offer employees access to annual funding assistance in support of their individual educational goals. With tuition fees going up, the company raised the annual assistance limits available. Thanks to what we’ve learned from past surveys, The Dutra Group has made changes to our benefits structure to better serve our people’s needs.

After a nearly two-year COVID hiatus, Dutra will be rebooting the CLIMB program, which provides educational sessions and case studies designed to take employees’ business and leadership skills to the next level.

CLIMB

After a nearly two-year COVID hiatus, The Dutra Group will be rebooting the CLIMB program, which provides educational sessions and case studies designed to take employees’ business and leadership skills to the next level. We have worked closely with an outside consultant to develop customized training sessions that address critical leadership issues and other topics relevant to our business.

The CLIMB program represents a significant company investment in the training and development of our employees. We are delighted to be able to reboot this program and again make available the opportunities it provides. We look forward to getting the Team back together and resuming the CLIMB experience.

The Dutra Group Prioritizes Employee Needs and Growth

When Dutra employees speak, the company listens! Their voices help us better understand their needs, and they are critical to our focus on retention.

The best way to find out what employee needs are is to just ask! Which we do every year. Our annual benefits survey helps us better understand what’s working well for our employees and what isn’t. Thanks to what we’ve learned from past surveys, The Dutra Group has made changes to our benefits structure to better serve our people’s needs.

After all, what is the value of benefits and develop programs if they aren’t meeting employees’ needs?

Most recently, employees let us know they wanted more paid time off and an increased employer match in our 401(k) plan. The Dutra Group delivered on both! Other changes over the years have included adding lower-cost options for our medical plans, strengthening our vision and dental benefits, and enhancing our educational assistance program.

We recently added in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) benefits to several of our medical plans. As a family business, The Dutra Group knows the importance of supporting our employees’ growing families as well as offering assistance to those who need support to start a family.

In addition to benefits, The Dutra Group is committed to our employees’ development and career growth. How else could we accomplish this, but by investing in our people? We work to enhance employees’ education and development through two key initiatives–our Educational Assistance Program and the internal leadership development program we call CLIMB (Continued Leadership Instruction for Managing Business).
