Amazon announces Future Ready 2030, a $2.5 billion investment to expand its education program portfolio to prepare 50 million people for the future of work. The initiative seeks to empower both Amazon employees and the broader workforce to thrive in a rapidly changing labor market. Future Ready 2030 is anticipated to benefit Amazon employees, students, and many others with the tools to adapt, build a career, and thrive.
Through Future Ready 2030, Amazon aims to connect education directly to real employment outcomes across every stage of the career journey. With programs like Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon will inspire K-12 students about future careers. The company is also opening doors for early-career talent through AWS Educate programs that prepare students for cloud-based jobs, and apprenticeships like our Mechatronics and Robotics program, where graduates can earn up to 58% more per year than typical starting wages for entry-level roles. And, Amazon will continue to upskill current employees through initiatives like AWS Skill Builder that help employees develop their cloud computing skills, and Machine Learning University (MLU), which trains employees to build AI solutions for Amazon’s unique business challenges.
