Amazon's Career Choice program relaunches in Australia

The goal of Career Choice is simple: provide eligible employees with the tools for success, no matter where they plan to work in the future.

Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers eligible employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon or elsewhere. The program removes financial barriers by prepaying tuition and reimbursing eligible fees, providing access to education and training opportunities that prepare employees for in-demand careers. It pre-pays up to 100% of tuition fees and associated costs for nationally recognised courses: up to $8,000 per year, every year.

The program is available in 14 countries: Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Amazon has added new programs in Australia focused on high-growth fields. All qualifications offered are externally recognised, and every program is designed to lead to real opportunities.

In Australia, Career Choice is available to eligible full-time, flex time, part time, or reduced time employees after one year of continuous employment. Language courses are the exception, available from Day 1.

All coursework is completed in employees' own time, outside of their regular working hours, giving them the flexibility to learn at a pace that suits their schedule.

As technology transforms industries and new skills become essential, the Career Choice program will continue to evolve its offerings. The goal is to make sure every program leads to opportunities, whether it be at Amazon or elsewhere — giving employees the freedom to follow their career aspirations, wherever they may lead.
