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.
