Sal & his team created Walgreens University, which has both a physical location—classrooms, a mock drugstore, and videoconferencing capabilities located in Deerfield, Illinois—and an online learning environment.

Effective utilization of L&D practices is one of the most effective ways to mitigate talent risk, and enabling talent mobility—and monitoring its success—is one of the best ways to create deep developmental experiences.

Walgreens and Fifth Third have partnered with DePaul University to offer their employees degree programs that can be completed onsite at their workplaces.
