2011 ANNUAL REPORT
LIFELONG LEARNING
Our employees tackle complex projects, and the
products they build and service literally power modern
life. To deliver our broad, high-technology portfolio,
we recruit the most talented employees and encourage
them to continue learning throughout their careers.
Our commitment to education is exemplified in our Employee Scholar
Program (ESP). We pay for tuition, books and fees for accredited pro-
grams and give employees paid time o each week to study. Moreover,
the ESP places no restrictions on the course of study an employee may
pursue. Since its inception 15 years ago, UTC employees have earned
more than 32,000 degrees through the ESP. To date, we have invested
$1 billion in the program. We see the payo on that investment every
day. And so do our customers and other stakeholders.
