Our courses are designed for working professionals, students, and parents!

The program will run from July 23 to November 16, 2024, consisting of four courses which will be open for 4 weeks each. You should expect to spend 8-10 hours per week completing your coursework. The program is flexibly-paced, meaning you can move as quickly or slowly as you’d like through each course, as long as you complete all sections and projects during the 4-week course period.

What is on the pre-assessment?

The assessment includes a series of questions, including some math-related ones, that reflect the daily responsibilities of operations leaders. Completing this task may take up to 30 minutes.

What prerequisites do I need?

Before enrolling, students must have a high school diploma or GED equivalent, basic computer literacy skills, and successfully complete the math pre-assessment in the application.

What are the eligibility requirements?

You are eligible to participate in the program if you have been employed as a regular full-time (40+hours per week), reduced time (30+ hours per week), or part-time (20-29 hours per week) hourly L1-L4 blue badge employee for 90 continuous days by July 23. 

What kinds of jobs will this certificate prepare me for?

This program is primarily designed for Associates who are excited to progress in their careers to roles like Warehouse Team Lead, Operations Manager, Shift Lead and similar operations leadership positions. In the past three years, there have been over 22 thousand unique job postings for open operations leader roles. This program’s curriculum was developed with input from senior operations leaders to ensure the program aligns with the capabilities required to succeed in these roles.

If I take this program, does that mean that I will get promoted into a higher-paying job at Amazon?

Not necessarily. Some Career Choice programs are aligned to specific roles at Amazon, but you still have to go through the application and interview process to get the job. There is no guarantee that you will get a higher-paying job at Amazon in your field of study just because you completed a Pathways program.

What kinds of career support will I receive?

You will work individually with a career coach who will help you update your resume and LinkedIn profile to feature your new skills and past work experiences. They will help you identify exciting jobs to apply to and get ready for interviews.

What technology and devices do I need?

All you need is a Windows or Mac computer or laptop and stable internet connection. While you can complete the lessons on most devices including phones and tablets, projects require a Windows or Mac laptop or desktop computer. For that reason you are not able to complete the course with only a phone, iPad/tablet, Chromebook, or Linux machine.

What is Pathstream?

Pathstream was founded on the premise that substantial unrealized economic and untapped human potential exists within each organization’s frontline workforce. As a mission-driven organization, we’re reshaping the way employees and managers on the frontlines excel in their careers.
