Training and development isn’t a one-time event at Walmart and Sam’s Club. It’s an integral and ongoing part of an associate’s life.
Each associate begins with an in-depth personal orientation. This is how we introduce you to our history and culture and paint a picture of the roles and responsibilities you’ll take on when you join the operations of the world’s largest retailer.
After orientation, each division has its own specific and detailed Training and Development programs that give you the knowledge and tools to succeed in our company, chart your own career path and accomplish your most ambitious goals. These are just some of the ways we’re Making Better Possible with opportunities that matter to you most.
