The procession started in toys, marched through electronics, down into grocery and past the registers at the front end. 51 men and women, dressed in shimmering blue and yellow caps and gowns, received certificates on a stage set up in the store’s lawn and garden department. These employees are graduates of Walmart Academy, one of the largest employer training programs in the country. Since March 2016, @Wal-Mart Stores, Inc has put more than 150,000 of its store supervisors and department managers through the training, which teaches things like merchandising and how to motivate employees over several weeks. But is all this training teaching workers valuable skills that could enable them to move into the middle class? Or is it mostly making them better Walmart employees? “The caps and gowns, the symbolism, these are not trivial things,” said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. “They are trying to create this feeling among employees that ‘we are the store.’” Other researchers say what many Walmart workers need most is not training, but higher wages. The training programs may be helpful in boosting employee loyalty and performance, they say, but increasing pay would benefit the workers most. @rogerkisby photographed these @Wal-Mart Stores, Inc Academy grads last month in Fulton, New York.
