[quote:~kpm~:MV80MDU1ODgyXzczNDc4MzE2XzZBQzk2NUEz] [b]Eligible teens will be given more predictable and flexible work schedules, in addition to free test prep courses for the ACT and SAT. After completing high school, those workers will be available for Walmart’s $1 a day college education benefit. Almost a year ago, Walmart launched its $1 a day college program for its 1.4 million associates now known as “Live Better U.” To date, more than 7,500 Walmart associates have enrolled in the program, which the company said is ahead of expectations. In addition to earning $1 a day college, the program also offers discounts on master’s degrees, and the ability to finish high school for associates and eligible relatives.[/b] https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walmart-woos-teen-workers-with-college-benefits-040000957.html [/quote]

Walmart is extending its debt-free college benefits to high schoolers as a way to attract and retain workers in a tight labor market.
The nation's largest private employer said Tuesday it will offer free college SAT and ACT prep for its workers in high school, while offering two to three free general education college classes through an educational startup.
Walmart estimates about 25,000 people under the age of 18 work at its stores, a fraction of its 1.3 million person U.S. workforce.
