We are pleased to announce that TulsaWORKS is a Beyond Jobs program partner. The Wal-Mart Foundation wants 200,000 women to become employed over the next 30 months and we're glad to help.
Wal-Mart, an employer that has a reputation for treating employees like less than dirt, a company that offers its' front line employees minimum wage and no benefits, a company that applied for an insurance waiver because the insurance plans they do offer were so poor (“mini-med” plans) they did not even qualify for Obamacare is helping to train people in poverty. What a joke.

Not only is the Wal-Mart model bad for workers and business, it’s also terrible for the taxpayer. The company’s refusal to pay a living wage and benefits forces most of its employees onto public benefits like food stamps and Medicaid. Each store’s workforce consumes as much as 75 million in public benefits each year.
TulsaWORKS Class Descriptions:
Corporate Customer Service
Workplace Computer Skills
Employment Essentials
Fork Lift Operator
Unarmed Private Security
TulsaWORKS promotes self-sufficiency among individuals and families that are living in poverty, through collaborations with area businesses, volunteer mentors and other community partners.
This reeks of a bunch of con artists using impoverished people to enrich themselves through a social program. We already have an entity that abuses the uneducated and the unskilled for cheap labor. They are called Temp Services. Perhaps you have heard of them?
Eligibility requirements for TulsaWORKS: Must be 18 years of age or older, must receive some type of subsidy (TANF, food stamps, housing), have low income or some other employment barrier. Applicants must have minimum of 5th grade reading level and sign consent for drug testing.
So you want people who receive TANF, food stamps, and housing subsidies to train for non-skilled, low paying jobs. Good luck with that.

Job Requirements

So TulsaWORKS is training people for non- skilled low paying jobs, and they require their help to have a Bachelor’s Degree? Does anyone else see the irony in this?
