51ÂÒÂ× is partnering with Amazon to further expand career advancement opportunities the company offers its 750,000 hourly employees across the country. The announcement for this partnership came in March 2022. 51ÂÒÂ× is the only four-year degree partner in Greater Cleveland and provides eligible Amazon employees with a fully funded education through the company’s Career Choice program.

Through Career Choice at 51ÂÒÂ×, Amazon employees can pursue a bachelor’s degree, earn industry certifications leading to in-demand jobs and build skills through English language proficiency.
