Key takeaways

  • Amazon ranked on LinkedIn's Top Companies list for 2026.
  • Amazon provides accessible skills training and education through programmes like Future Ready 2030 and Career Choice.

LinkedIn's yearly ranking identifies the best companies to work for where professionals can grow, and Amazon has continued to help employees build careers and skills for the future. This includes a commitment to expand access to education and skills training through the launch of Future Ready 2030, as well as investments to raise pay and lower health care costs for our operations employees.

“When employees have access to education, training, and new technologies, they don't just advance their own careers—they raise the bar for everyone around them,” said Beth Galetti, senior vice president of People Experience and Technology at Amazon. “That's part of what makes this recognition meaningful: It's a reflection of the culture our teammates create every day.”

How Amazon helps employees advance their careers

Since 2019, Amazon has provided skills training to more than 700,000 employees worldwide, reinforcing a core belief that people of all backgrounds deserve access to the education and resources needed to advance their careers.

Through Future Ready 2030, the company is working to help prepare at least 50 million people for the future of work with programs spanning early career to mid-career transitions.

Career Choice, our flagship education programme for operations employees, has provided prepaid college tuition, industry certifications, language classes, and career coaching since its launch. During that time, the program has helped many employees pursue new career paths.

For younger learners, we provide free science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and computer science education to students. In 2025 we opened Warsaw’s first STEM Kindloteka, a dedicated space promoting reading, programming and robotics to children and teenagers.

Amazon supports employees and the communities where they live

Amazon's investment in people goes beyond skills training. As our network continues to grow in smaller cities and rural communities, our rural expansion is expected to create more additional jobs and driver opportunities.

Amazon promotes a culture of innovation

Amazon’s culture of innovation is rooted in a simple idea: make life easier and better for customers. Amazon Leo is expanding connectivity through low Earth orbit satellites. New technologies across our operations are helping make deliveries safer for employees and customers while also enabling faster, more reliable service. Together, these efforts reflect our companywide drive to keep inventing on behalf of customers and solving practical problems at scale.

Powering the future of work

Ranking again on LinkedIn's Top Companies list reflects a sustained investment in people—from operations employees gaining new credentials through Career Choice to students exploring computer science for the first time.

As the nature of work continues to evolve, the company is focused on making sure employees and communities have the skills and support to grow with it.
