The nation’s largest private employer is expanding educational opportunities for employees. On Tuesday, Walmart announced it will pay 100% of college tuition and books through its Live Better U program.
Walmart and Sam’s Club employees previously paid a dollar a day to take part in the program. Walmart said it plans to invest nearly a billion dollars over the next five years in career training and development.
In a news release, Lorraine Stomski, senior vice president of learning and leadership, said the expansion includes additional college degree and certification options in business administration, supply chain and cybersecurity.

Walmart announced that it will be investing nearly $1 billion to cover the full cost of college tuition and books for its employees. The retailer began offering free tuition through its Live Better U education program in 2018 but charged employees $1 per day.
Walmart said it is dropping the fee and increasing the options for employees who wish to seek a degree. 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,
