Supporting Veterans and Military Families
We recognize the diverse backgrounds and experiences that veterans and military spouses bring to Amazon and how they strengthen the workforce.
At Amazon, thousands of veterans and military spouses are driving innovation and raising the bar on the customer experience. Each day, they apply their knowledge, skills, and leadership abilities in a wide variety of careers around the world on behalf of our customers.
In 2021, we pledged to hire 100,000 veterans and military spouses worldwide by 2024, and in January 2024 we exceeded that goal.
Amazon offers a range of career programs to assist service members and military spouses with transitioning into civilian careers, 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.
