Walmart hopes to retain more young talent, with degrees in fields related to technology.
Walmart is taking a previously announced college-education perk and extending it to high school students.
A debt-free college degree through "Live Better U" in three fields from six non-profit universities. for its employees who've yet to earn college degrees. It's been doing this through a partnership with Guild Education — a tuition reimbursement and education platform that helps large employers extend education benefits, including tuition reimbursement, to workers. Walmart workers accepted into this program only have to contribute $1 per day, for 365 days each year, toward their education, so long as they're enrolled. Walmart covers the rest of the tab.
Walmart also is adding 14 new technology degrees and certificates for its workers to choose from in fields like computer science, cyber security and computing technology, and a certificate for Java programming. When this program launched in 2018, workers had to opt to obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in either business or supply chain management.
