I am excited to work in a program that creates impact in the lives of our associates at Amazon. The education benefit truly helps them change their lives by upskilling themselves and pursuing careers they are passionate about. I am passionate about making it easier for Amazonians to pursue their aspirations, especially in difficult economic contexts, where frontline workers may not have the flexibility and financial resources to teach themselves new skills.

Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success. Our goal is to meet individual learners where they are on their educational journey through a variety of education and skills training opportunities. Since launching in 2012, over 150,000 Amazon employees across 14 countries worldwide have received training for high-demand occupations including aircraft mechanics, computer-aided designers, commercial truck drivers, medical assistants, nurses and more.. Career Choice is part of Amazon’s Upskilling 2025 pledge, aimed at helping employees maintain and grow their skills and achieve their career aspirations. So far, the company has committed to invest over $1.2 billion into upskilling, to provide 300,000 employees this opportunity.
