Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan

Did my husbands work violate their end of the contract?

My husbands employer participates in an RN tuition assistance program and my husband signed a contract with his employer agreeing to work full time with them for 24 months after ''completion of the program''. My husband graduated from Nursing school in May of 2008 and received his license in July of 2008. He was NOT given a full time position with the company until January. Now he is going to be starting another job full time with a prominent hospital in our area and his current job is stating that he has to pay back all the money that they paid toward his schooling. Being that the contract clearly states he is to work FOR AT LEAST 24 MONTHS ON A FULL-TIME BASIS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM and THEY failed to hire him on full time, did his work therefore violate his contract and in return release him from any obligation to pay. We also have a copy of his employee profile that states that he was hired on at part time. No where in the contract does it state that they may work him part-time until a full time position is available. However, there was a full time position available when he graduated that they failed to provide to him.
