On Thursday, Amazon announced that it will be spending hundreds of millions of dollars to train 100,000 employees for higher-skilled positions. Training programs will be available for employees all over the company. Additionally, employees will be able to choose from a number of programs. Amazon also has plans to help warehouse employees pay for degrees in high demand fields. All of this training will be done in an effort to retain employees, in an increasingly tight job market.
