Amazon to create 1,000 UK apprenticeships
AmazonĀ is to create more than 1,000 new apprenticeships in the UK in 2025.
The online retail giant will offer a range of opportunities across its businesses including Amazon Web Services, Prime Video, and Amazon Devices and Services.
Amazon is now recruiting for more than 40 different programmes, including data science and cyber security, HR, marketing, engineering, health and safety, and warehouse operations, with the majority of courses also including generative AI training.
This year Amazon is also launching new programmes such as creative industries production, data centre operations, and facilities operations.
Never Miss a Retail Update!John Boumphrey, UK country manager at Amazon, said: “Apprenticeships have been a big focus for Amazon for over a decade, and we’re excited to continue creating opportunities for people to start and grow their careers through the announcement of 1,000 new UK apprenticeships in 2025.
“The Amazon Apprenticeship programme is perfect for people of all ages who are either taking their first step on the career ladder, or for those who want to pursue a new path. This is one of the many ways we continue to create opportunities for people inside and outside Amazon to learn new skills and gain new qualifications.”
Since the launch of the Amazon’s apprenticeship programme in 2013, the retailer has offered 7,000 apprenticeships in the UK.
