Over 3,000 eligible employees in Canada have signed up to participate in Amazon’s Career Choice in 2023, representing a 59 per cent growth in participation over 2022, according to the company.
“One of the things that we’ve heard from employees over and over again is that skills training is important. And they want to continue their professional development in whatever role they happen to be in,” says Tammy Thieman, director or program management for Career Choice at Amazon, in talking with Canadian HR Reporter.
“And so Career Choice is the program specifically designed for our hourly population that allows them to engage in skills training at local schools, to increase their skill level so that they can actually take the next step in their career.”
