Walmart Paves the Way From Jobs to Life-Long Careers

The retail giant was looking to empower associates with new skills, enabling future-proof careers while creating agility for the business. One of their biggest challenges was scale — but after partnering with Guild, Walmart was able to make career opportunity available to its 1.6 million frontline employees across the U.S.

To amplify career growth opportunities for its frontline workers, Walmart leaders removed financial barriers to education and align the program — known as Live Better U (LBU) — with business priorities. They’ve continued to grow LBU with the business, expanding offerings to drive success for associates while creating talent pipelines for future strategic needs, such as roles in cybersecurity, health & wellness, technology, and more.
