Walmart Employee Boosts Pay by Joining Skilled Trades Program
Walmart has revamped its training program to address the growing shortage of skilled tradespeople, enabling employees like Liz Cardenas to significantly increase their pay and responsibilities, which highlights the broader industry challenge of labor shortages in trades due to retirements and immigration issues. The initiative aims to attract more workers into technical roles, crucial for maintaining operations and reducing costly downtimes, with plans to train 4,000 workers by 2030.
