Walmart to enhance their current educational benefits program
Walmart has announced that they will be paying full college tuition and book costs for US workers at select schools. The company will drop their previous $1 a day fee for enrollment, begin covering the cost of books, and add 4 new academic partners to the existing program. Walmart says that workers who participate in the program are “twice as likely to get promoted and are retained at a significantly higher rate.” Employees must work with Walmart part-time or full-time to be eligible and can attend any of the 10 partner schools.
