L&D | Walmart, McDonald's offer college credits for corporate learning - Should your company do the same?

Employers like Amazon, Walmart, and McDonald’s are hoping to get colleges to accept corporate training programs completed by staff as credits toward their degrees.

The premise is simple: An employee completes a training program as a part of the company’s learning and development scheme. Generally, the courses must be off-the-job, “classroom” based programs – take, for example, a store manager completing a leadership course.
