HOW IT WORKS

One shared workflow, from partnership terms to paid tuition.

EFFA connects schools, employers, and employees on one operating layer — so a partnership goes from a handshake to a funded, enrolled student without the manual gaps in between.
Three role views showing school inquiry pipeline, employer approval queue, and employee school discovery.

The four steps

1

The school formalizes the partnership

The school proposes standardized terms; the employer accepts in one step. No custom contract per partner, no six-month negotiation.
2

The employer activates in hours

The employer uploads its existing tuition policy, reviews eligibility, and connects payment. No IT integration.
3

The employee raises their hand

Employees browse approved schools, see their benefit and eligibility, and signal interest — routing warm, benefit-confirmed demand to the school.
4

Direct bill closes the loop

The school invoices, the employer approves, payment settles through EFFA, and skill outcomes become visible immediately.

What each participant gets

Schools grow a repeatable funded-enrollment channel

Employers get a benefit people use, with control and no cost

Employees grow their skills without fronting the cost or taking on debt
