We use Walmart Academies to teach structured courses, and those now include AI-related programs. Through Live Better U, we pay for college and books, so people can earn degrees and move into fields like technology and cybersecurity. We also train technicians to maintain our equipment and automation. Those skills help people grow and, in some cases, even become new profit centers.
