The Automotive Training Centre announced that it will offer eligible Amazon employees in Surrey, B.C., Montréal, Qué., and Cambridge and Toronto, Ont., relevant, practical, and job-related skills for a career in the automotive and transportation sectors as part of Amazon’s Career Choice program.
“We’re looking forward to ATC coming on board as an education partner for Career Choice, adding to the hundreds of best-in-class offerings available to our employees,” said Tammy Thieman, Global Director of Amazon’s Career Choice Program, in a statement.
Amazon’s program, launched globally in 2012, is meant to help move a pledge forward: that of removing barriers for employees that want higher education opportunities. As a result, the Automotive Training Centre school will be offering “industry-validated training” from qualified instructors, according to a news release.
“We’re committed to empowering our employees by providing them access to the education and training they need to grow their careers, whether that’s with us or elsewhere,” added Thieman. “We have intentionally created a partner network of third-party educators and employers committed to providing excellent education, job placement resources, and continuous improvements to the experience.”
Amazon’s program can help ease the financial burden of education for employees by covering 95 per cent of the tuition, fees, and book costs within annual and lifetime limits.
