Building skills for high-demand careers

As we strive to be “Earth’s best employer,” Amazon is breaking down barriers to education access. Our Career Choice programme offers front-line employees across our customer fulfilment and transportation network pre-paid tuition to pursue General Educational Development certificates (GEDs), college degrees, professional certifications, and more. Since 2012, the programme has upskilled over 200,000 employees across 14 countries. This helps us close skills gaps while supporting employees' aspirations. A recent success story: an employee became the first in his family to earn a bachelor's degree and now works on our AWS Data Center Ops team.
