COVID Pivot: Employers Pay Employee College Tuition

What’s happening? WalMart revealed a new program to pay for college tuition for 1.5 million employees in an effort to retain employees.

Why is this important? Reading the coverage of this move, you read “tight labor market” or a new way of running businesses in 2021. There’s a change that’s happening without regard to how you describe it.

How will this be important? It’s changing how they talk. From A Walmart senior VP ” 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.””
