The Amazon Global Military Affairs (GMA) team established the Amazon Military SkillBridge (AMSB) program, through the collaborative efforts of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) by making the company an approved DoD SkillBridge provider. Amazon can now provide military members, who are separating within 180 days of service, with internship & apprenticeship opportunities in a variety of different Amazon roles. The goal for GMA is to convert AMSB participants into full time positions, just in time for their military transition into the civilian sector.
