Imagine navigating the same cloud challenges that AWS solutions architects face daily, and proving you can solve them. That’s what AWS Jam Journeys offer through hands-on learning experiences. And, now we’ve reorganized our AWS Jam Journeys to better match your learning paths and the way you interact with AWS services.

In February 2025, we launched 17 new digital training products on AWS Skill Builder including seven new AWS Builder Labs, four new AWS Jam Journeys, and six major updates to AWS Jam Journeys.

To help organizations implement Well-Architected best practices consistently while they expand, we’ve launched Well-Architected for Enterprises, a new free digital course.

As organizations move from dabbling in generative artificial intelligence (AI) to building customer-facing applications, having a skilled team is crucial for project success. You can leverage AWS Training courses to upskill your team, ensuring they are prepared for your next generative AI project.
