Amazon offers employees up to £8,000 for education and training, like Juliet.

She's now a trained technician.

And to her, the sound of machinery in need of repair, reminds her of how far she's come.

In two years, she's landed her dream job, providing her with valuable skills.

That's up to £8,000 for education and training at Amazon. Eligibility conditions apply. This is Monica Perez and if you are watching this, you can see I'm not in my normal spot in front of my books.
