Amex has a sabbatical policy in place that I have seen some colleagues use to pursue anything they want (travel, further education, break etc.) There is an application process which I believe opens once a year.
Regarding sponsorship of higher education by the company, i am not too sure. I think it depends on your business unit and there being a strong case for company to sponsor it

Thank you for the reply.
Yes sabbatical would indeed be a nice move. You think that one has to return to same position, or can they be promoted once they have a degree?

Not sure on that. I would think one returns to the same role/level post the sabbatical, but each sabbatical is dealt on a case by case basis, so worth checking with your leader.

Got it. Thank you☺️
