Situation

Amazon is a global online retail company and a major employer in the United States. As part of its L&D initiatives, it pioneered the Amazon Career Choice program to help its employees succeed, especially those who work on the frontline. Career Choice decided to include English Language Learning (ELL) in its program offerings to respond to the needs of its diverse workforce. To make this happen, Career Choice looked for providers who could develop smart solutions to support frontline workers with their challenges.

Jeff Testimonial

“We’ve found that a large percentage of Amazon employees are more likely to remain with the company because ESL was offered as an employee benefit. We’ve also seen internally that education, including language classes, improves retention and offers more opportunities for career growth for our frontline workers.”
