In the realm of employee recruitment and employee training and
development, Wal-Mart has targeted college students to add to their
workforce. Wal-Mart achieves this recruitment by fanning out over 80 college
campuses.[14] While they are at these colleges, they are also able to expand
their demographics by looking at minority fraternities and sororities, which
brings all types of people from different backgrounds, races, and genders
together in the Wal-Mart family. Having a wide variety demographic for a
workforce, only serves to attract more people to seek employment with WalMart
because they are able to show that they have a very open hiring
process. Beyond this recruitment, Wal-Mart has taken an additional step
with college students by offering management training for college students
while they are still in school so they are more developed and prepared upon
their graduation.[15] This program serves the purpose of making college
students consider careers with Wal-Mart, and over the last two years, the
program has had immense success.
