Metropolitan College 

Partnering for Education and Careers

Metropolitan College (or Metro College) is not a brick and mortar college. It's a partnership between the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the city of Louisville, UPS, the University of Louisville, and Jefferson Community and Technical College.

Metro College was part of the incentive package tied to the expansion of our major overnight hub, Worldport. This program offers access to education opportunities for eligible employees in the Next Day Air (Night shift) operation at Worldport. Participating students attending at least part-time with a C-grade or better get paid tuition plus fee payment assistance, academic bonuses, and more.
