Together, We're Building the Next Generation of Career-Ready Talent
THe Partnership
Turning Today's Students Into Tomorrow's Workforce
From creating career content and connecting employees with classrooms, to building the talent pipeline our industry depends on collaboration — Amazon and Pathful are working together to close the skills gap before it starts.
7 in 10 employers can't find the talent they need — and the solution starts long before graduation. Amazon RME has partnered with Pathful to provide career exploration content that showcase our roles to students from 6th-12th grade. Across all 50 states students can explore careers, build real-world skills, and see themselves in the jobs of tomorrow.

The skilled trades gap is one of the most pressing challenges we face in RME. Partnering with Pathful lets us reach students before they've made their career decisions — and show them that the skilled trades — robotics, mechatronics, technical maintenance — are high-demand, high-paying careers with a real future at one of the world's most innovative companies.
