Walmart
One of the world’s largest retailers teamed up with QA to fast-track its teams’ cloud and DevOps skills, ensuring they could drive innovation, boost operational efficiency, and stay competitive in an increasingly digital and tech-driven market. By equipping their workforce with cutting-edge expertise, they’re positioning themselves to meet the demands of tomorrow’s retail landscape today.
The challenge
Walmart’s priority is empowering its development teams with the right skills for cloud and DevOps.
The challenge lies in delivering a custom curriculum to new developers while also providing tenured developers with up-to-date, self-paced learning content. Additionally, Walmart needed a way to assess each developer's proficiency and guide them to the right training resources for continuous upskilling, ensuring both efficiency and alignment with evolving business needs.
The solution
To meet Walmart’s needs, QA implemented a customised learning solution using our Content Engine. The program began by developing a tailored curriculum specific to Walmart’s development workflows, providing both new and experienced developers with flexible, self-paced learning paths.
Developers could assess their skills using QA’s custom smart skills feature, allowing them to focus on areas where they needed the most improvement. This approach enabled learners to take control of their development journey and concentrate on content that would drive the greatest skill growth.
By combining personalised learning with self-assessment tools, the program empowered Walmart’s developers to upskill efficiently while staying aligned with the company’s evolving technical needs.
The results
"QA helped us scale across our global tech organisation and start our Tech Bootcamp in North America with outstanding customer service."
