Amazon has emerged as a driving force in growing retail distribution and providing jobs for workers around the world. According to Forbes, it is the world’s largest retailer and sixth-largest company on the planet.
More than 1.3 million jobs are supplied by Amazon alone according to Insider. Amazon employees receive many benefits, including Amazon Career Choice, which covers the costs of Amazon employees who want to further their educations.
SDSU Global Campus is an official educational partner in Amazon’s Career Choice program, offering Amazon employees to become students and earn their education.
What is Amazon Career Choice?
Amazon Career Choice is a benefit offered to qualified employees that allows Amazon workers to earn an education at a reputable university without the price tag. Through this benefit, Amazon covers 100% of the price of tuition, fees, and textbooks to the maximum of your eligibility.
“We recognize that when many people come to work at Amazon they come here for a long-term career. But others come here and see Amazon as a stepping stone,” said Beth Galetti, Senior VP of Amazon Human Resources. “We invented Career Choice to be one of those very important steps in their personal career journey.”
After just 90 days of employment, you are eligible if you are a full-time or part-time hourly L1-L4 Amazon employee with no limit to the number of years you can utilize the benefit as long as you’re employed by Amazon.
The program’s three tracks are learning foundational skills (English language proficiency for example), job training and skills development, and earning college credit towards a degree. Amazon’s partnership with SDSU Global Campus specifically allows you to enroll in any of our bachelor’s degree completion programs.
So whether you are looking to advance in your career inside or outside of Amazon, or you simply want to acquire new knowledge and skills, Career Choice makes it possible for you to do so. For more information visit Amazon’s Career Choice Portal.
