Amazon plans to provide training opportunities through existing AWS-designed programs, as well as develop new courses to meet a wide variety of schedules and learning goals.
In a blog post, Amazon has announced that by 2025, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will help 29 million people globally grow their technical skills with free cloud computing skills training.
The e-commerce giant will provide training opportunities through existing AWS-designed programs, as well as develop new courses to meet a wide variety of schedules and learning goals. The training ranges from self-paced online courses—designed to help individuals update their technical skills—to intensive upskilling programs that can lead to new jobs in the technology industry.
Key Points of the Plan:
♦ Building out its library of more than 500 free courses, interactive labs, and virtual day-long training sessions designed for individuals looking for foundational cloud computing skills, all the way to seasoned IT professionals looking to stay up to date on the latest technologies
♦ Continuing to invest in free training to help individuals earn AWS Certification.
♦ Expanding the AWS re/Start program to help people from underrepresented communities transition into tech jobs.
♦ Piloting new training initiatives, like the two-day AWS Fiber Optic Fusion Splicing Certificate program. Another program—Amazon’s Machine Learning University, is an accelerated, free course designed to give people the opportunity to jump in to learning and applying machine learning concepts to solve business problems.
Teresa Carlson, Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector at Amazon Web Services wrote: This is just a snapshot of the work we are doing to help individuals around the world learn new skills and open up new career opportunities in tech. Our plan to provide 29 million people around the world with skills training builds on the commitment we made last year to invest $700 million to train 100,000 Amazon employees."
