Career Choice Marketing Coordinator

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Career Choice– Ireland based

The Associate Development organization owns global management and innovation of the Career Choice, Career Skills and The Offer programs. From Career Skills to Career Choice to The Offer, we are committed to upskilling front-line associates and empowering career choice.

What accounts for Career Choice's peculiar success? Unlike most tuition programs, Career Choice starts with the employees' end goal - a rewarding career path in an in-demand field in the local area – and works backward to deliver impact. Amazon funds programs that match local labor market needs and connect students with local hiring opportunities across key sectors of the economy from advanced manufacturing, to healthcare and information technology.

Career Choice is more than a tuition payment program as we seek to simplify returning to school for our associates. We partner with local colleges and education providers to bring classes on-site to our fulfillment centers.

And this year, Amazon is making it easier for employees to join the program. The program also launched its own website, www.AmazonCareerChoice.com, giving employees a single platform to apply for tuition assistance, manage their benefits and learn about Career Choice.
