Walmart is taking innovative steps to support its employees’ educational pursuits by offering college credit for on-the-job training and work experience. This initiative involves partnerships with various colleges, enabling employees to convert their training into academic credits.
At Walmart, employees can earn credit through programs like Walmart Academy, which offers training courses that count towards degrees at partnering institutions.
These efforts aim to attract and retain talent by creating a strong internal talent pipeline. While programs are still developing, they signify a shift towards recognizing practical work experience as valuable educational credit, challenging traditional higher education norms.
