HOWARD COUNTY, MD — An Australian-based financial company with offices in Columbia has promised student-loan forgiveness to its employees. Computershare Corporate Trust, which is part of the international stock-transfer company Computershare, has an office on Route 108 in Howard County. The student loan incentive program rewards "the best performing employees by paying off up to $60,000 of student loan debt." Michael Watchke, U.S. head of Computershare Corporate Trust, sent a statement to WMARexplaining why the company is doing this. "Many Americans leave college with significant debt from student loans and we are pleased to help some of our employees say goodbye to part or all of their student loan debts. We believe that this is one more enticement for job seekers that might consider a career with us in one of our many offices, including in Columbia, Maryland, the city of Minneapolis or as an employee working remotely," Watchke said.
