Our People
Overview
We hire talented people and give them the tools and support that equips them change how the world works. Our employees have the autonomy to explore innovative solutions and make a real impact. We’re committed to having a diverse community of employees because it allows us to continue driving innovation for our customers, and because it’s the right thing to do. We want our employees to know their voices and opinions are heard, to see themselves at every level in our organization, and above all else, to feel a sense of belonging.

Employee upskilling
We have several programs to help our employees upskill, as part of Amazon’s broader Upskilling 2025 pledge to invest $1.2 billion to provide skills training and education to employees in the United States. These include the AWS ‘Grow Our Own Talent’ program, which supports employees with nontraditional experience to gain on-the-job tech training and development, and our Amazon Technical Apprentice Program, which helps groups including military veterans and their spouses transition into tech careers.
Testimonial
"The broadness and vastness of the technology landscape was just mind-blowing. I’m grateful that programs like the Amazon Technical Apprenticeship exist. I’m not sure how else I would into this career without this opportunity.”
Courtney Sampson, AWS Solutions Architect
Courtney completed an Amazon Technical apprenticeship after leaving the U.S. Air Force
