May is Military Appreciation Month. In 2021, we pledged to hire 100,000 veterans and military spouses worldwide by 2024, and we’re pleased to share that we passed that goal back in January. "Employees with a military background are not just valued members of our workforce; they are integral to our culture, enriching Amazon with their diverse perspectives, unwavering commitment, and exceptional leadership qualities," said J. Ofori Agboka, VP of People Experience & Technology. We’re lucky to have so many great veterans and military spouses on board, and we want to support them in any way we can. That’s why we offer a range of career programs to assist transitioning service members and military spouses, including company-funded skills training through the Amazon Technical Apprenticeship Program and AWS re/Start. They can also take advantage of free upskilling opportunities through programs like Career Choice, Amazon’s prepaid tuition program for employees looking to move into high-demand occupations. Veterans and military spouses working at Amazon also have access to fellowships, mentorships, military spouse support, and deployment benefits.
