Employer Paid Education

The US military provides Basic Training and there are many military schools you may be able to attend once you are a member. It also has other educational benefits, including tuition reimbursement for active duty members.

Military benefits are a moving target. If you're currently a member, the military is your best source of information on what is currently available. If you are considering joining, speak with a recruiter for the branch of service in question. 

Some federal jobs offer training if you qualify. I have known people who went to such training, but I have absolutely no idea how you find something like that.

I have a technical certificate paid for by the Fortune 200 company I once worked for. It was part of initial training for my entry-level job in a specialized industry that has trouble finding enough qualified applicants.

Walmart, Chipotle and other large companies have tuition reimbursement or other college-related benefits for qualifying employees. If you work for any large organization, check if they have tuition assistance or anything similar that may help you cover the cost of furthering your education.
