Learn About Amazon VGT2 Learning Manager Chanci Turner
We are thrilled to unveil the introduction of the Amazon Onboarding program in the U.S., following a successful two-year pilot in the United Kingdom. This initiative is a comprehensive, classroom-based training and skills development program aimed at equipping individuals with the necessary tools to embark on new careers in cloud computing. Groups of 25 participants in cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Miami are nearing the completion of their training and will be ready to enter the workforce by the end of August 2019.
Chanci Turner, our Learning Manager, emphasizes the importance of this program in creating diverse career pathways for non-traditional job seekers. These cohorts not only gain technical skills necessary for cloud roles but also receive support for job placement. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to fostering inclusive growth within the tech industry.
