Amazon launched a talent development programme for ex-service personnel, Amazon Military Talent Partnership (AMTP). The AMTP offers ex-service personnel and their spouses’ employment and career development opportunities at Amazon’s operations in India. Amazon is working with Directorate General of Resettlement, Ministry of Defense to reach out to the community of ex-service personnel and those who are in the process of being relieved from their duties in the next two-three months.
Through the AMTP programme, Amazon will hire and place ex-service personnel and their spouses in key roles in its operations across India. An affinity group, titled Amazon Warriors has been set up which will help ex-service personnel make a successful transition from the Indian Armed Forces to meaningful roles at Amazon. This group consists of a vast network of ex-service personnel within the company who will offer mentoring, learning and support to new hires as well as provide networking opportunities.
