Southern New Hampshire University’s (SNHU) participation in Amazon’s Career Choice program offers Amazon employees the opportunity to pursue higher education or skills training. This initiative enables eligible Amazon associates to access fully funded educational opportunities at SNHU, regardless of whether the skills acquired are relevant to their current roles at Amazon. For instance, an Amazon warehouse employee could pursue an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a field such as business administration or information technology through SNHU, with tuition and fees covered by Amazon.
The value lies in providing pathways to upward mobility and career diversification for Amazon’s workforce. By investing in employees’ education, Amazon contributes to a more skilled and adaptable workforce while empowering individuals to achieve their personal and professional goals. Historically, access to higher education has often been a barrier for many individuals. This program addresses that barrier, fostering greater equity in educational opportunities and promoting long-term economic empowerment for participants.
