Amazon expands UK apprenticeship program with 1,000 new roles in 2025

Amazon is rolling out more than 1,000 new apprenticeships across the UK in 2025, reinforcing its push to develop in-house talent across engineering, cyber security, HR, and marketing. The initiative is part of the company’s long-term strategy to upskill workers and strengthen its operational workforce. A Doncaster-based family highlights the program’s impact, with four members now working in Amazon’s fulfillment centers.

Since 2013, Amazon has trained over 6,000 apprentices and currently employs 2,000 in the program. It has also invested £11 million since 2021 to fund over 1,000 apprenticeships for small businesses and the public sector.

Apprentices earn between £28,000 and £30,000 annually, with additional benefits such as private medical insurance and a company pension. The program provides a pathway for employees to advance into specialised roles within the company’s logistics and tech-driven operations.
