Inside Merit America’s Partnership With Amazon
Launched in 2019 with a small cohort of 12 learners at a fulfillment center in Dallas, this collaboration has grown significantly over the past five years. Through the Amazon Career Choice program, over 2,000 Amazon Associates across the nation have received more than 500,000 hours of technical training, Google Certifications, and personalized career coaching. As a result, participants in this program have experienced wage increases that are 68% higher per learner compared to similar initiatives, as reported by the Bridgespan Group in their 2023 Merit America SROI Review.
