Walmart will pay 100% of its associates’ college tuition and book costs, the company announced on Tuesday.
The Live Better U education program is removing its $1-a-day fee, making all 1.5 million part-time and full-time Walmart and Sam’s Club associates in the United States eligible for full funding of their college tuition beginning on Aug. 16, according to a press release.
“We are creating a path of opportunity for our associates to grow their careers at Walmart, so they can continue to build better lives for themselves and their families,” Lorraine Stomski, senior vice president of learning and leadership at Walmart, said. “This investment is another way we can support our associates to pursue their passion and purpose while removing the barriers that too often keep adult working learners from obtaining degrees.”
Government is placing pressure on corporate America to pay for it … Communism by way of Capitalism. Why doesn’t the Government just make college affordable, In 1980 you could go a full year for 1000 dollars that same college now is 40 K per year
Defund College’s and Universities like our schools, full of Marxist
Walmart should spend some time and money on training Managers for their stores, especially the North Salisbury store, Does that store even have a manager?? Shelves are bare, cashiers are extremely rude, long lines due to trying to push off the self serve check outs, which I refuse to use, so they have about one or maybe two pissed off cashiers who show with no doubt, how much they hate being there and the customers for bothering them. I have never seen a more poorly run store than that particular WalMart. If they even have a manager, he/she should be fired and replaced with someone who has managerial skills.
