Hemel firm helps staff to further their careers
The Amazon Career Choice programme enables employees to pursue qualifications in high-demand fields such as engineering, IT, mechanical and electrical trades, healthcare, construction, transportation, logistics and accounting, even if that means a career outside of Amazon.
Amazon will pay 95 per cent of tuition and associated fees for the courses, up to £8,000 over four years.

Hide AdEma Steinyte, who has worked at Amazon in Hemel since 2015, is pursuing an Accounting Level 2 Certificate AAT at Central Beds College.
Ema said: “I really enjoy mathematics and banking. I worked in banking in Lithuania and always wanted to pursue a career in that field in the UK, but it is really expensive and difficult to pursue when you work full time. I am grateful that Amazon offers the Career Choice programme to its employees. I want to improve my qualifications and go higher and higher.”
