Wheelchair user shares employment success story with Walmart

Our Pathways to Employment (PTE) Program is designed to support the pursuit of job opportunities for wheelchair users. PTE provides resources about benefits, requesting accommodations, resume support and access to mentors who have successfully returned to work after injury or diagnosis. We’re always thrilled to hear of our member’s success stories!

“In September 2022, I received an email from United Spinal Association saying that Walmart is hiring. I told myself, ‘let me give this a try’. To my surprise, one month after I submitted the job application, I got an offer from Walmart for the Resolution Coordinator position,” says Jequ Okeke, a wheelchair user who lives in Atlanta.

“I took it, and in November 2022, after one month of training, I started working officially. I have to thank the United Spinal Association. I’m someone who has directly benefited in my recovery journey from their services,” he says.   

In partnership with Walmart, United Spinal’s Pathways to Employment program is excited to share additional employment opportunities.
