Advance Your Career and Earning Potential

Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon or elsewhere. We meet individual learners where they are on their education journey through a variety of education and upskilling opportunities including full college tuition, industry certifications designed to lead to in-demand jobs, and foundational skills such as English language proficiency, high school diplomas, and GEDs.

*Applicable towards for-credit undergraduate courses or programs.

Here’s how:

Amazon pays for your tuition, fees, and books at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) to provide their hourly employees access to online and on-campus learning after 90 days of employment. We deliver on Amazon’s promise and partner directly to make it a seamless enrollment process for you to boost your career and earning potential. Together, we are committed to providing excellent education, job placement resources, and continuous improvements to your student experience.
