Amazon employees can attend Pikes Peak Community College for free

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)-- Amazon is offering employees in Colorado Springs free tuition at Pikes Peak Community College.

Amazon's Career Choice program will pay first, meaning any additional financial aid that Amazon employees receive over the cost of their bill could mean money in their pocket for supplies, living expenses, and more.

Amazon is using $1.2 billion across the U.S. to upskill more than 300,000 Amazon employees by 2025. The goal is to help them move into higher-paying, in-demand jobs.

"Investing in its employees is a wise strategy to recruit and retain employees," said Chelsy Harris, Associate Vice President for Strategic Partnerships. "Amazon’s commitment to debt-free education for its employees provides an economic boost to the Pikes Peak region and expands access to PPCC’s career training and transfer programs for thousands."

PPCC's low tuition cost, flexible class options, and nearly 200 degrees and certificates, will allow Amazon employees to get the most out of this benefit.
