My company wants me to pay for training. What should I do?

Students are receiving education at UT Dallas, and should not be asked to pay for additional training by an employer. Third party employers sometimes offer the incentive of a “possible” client assignment after the training, and students should beware as they may be asked to repay the training cost. Note: Internships will not be approved without a confirmed client assignment. In these circumstances, students are advised to seek alternative internship opportunities.
