Walmart is opening the program to the high school students it employs. They will be able to take seven credit hours during high school and can go on to earn a degree in technology, business or supply chain management through the program upon graduation.
“We want to focus on building that talent pipeline and building a bridge into the workforce,” Malashock said, adding that most Walmart employees pursuing the company’s education benefit begin their studies in Guild’s College Start program, which offers credit in general education topics that can be transferred into a bachelor’s degree.
