AMAZON UK BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES APPRENTICE PROGRAMME

Our apprenticeships
Amazon offers a range of opportunities to suit candidates with different backgrounds, qualifications and career aspirations. That is why we believe it is the perfect place to learn new skills.
Our European Operations Teams are crucial in ensuring that we continue to deliver and innovate for customers. We have big plans and want to continue to develop and retain the best talent.
Amazon apprenticeship schemes are aimed at people who have a passion for learning and want to start a career now – or possibly retrain in a new direction.

To be successful you will need to be committed to your own development and be prepared to make the most of the opportunities, hands on experience and qualifications given to you.

Operations – Business Improvement Techniques (BIT) Level 2 Apprenticeship
Join us on our 13 month BIT Apprenticeship scheme and you will be trained on our process paths while also growing your skills in crucial, complementary areas like safety first, problem solving, communication and project planning. Over the course of the apprenticeship you will be introduced to the fundamental operational excellence modules and will work towards a Level 2 apprenticeship in Business Improvement Techniques.

You will build your skills over a 13 month period covering:
· Classroom based training workshops
· Amazon’s on-the-job training program, supported by a dedicated external coach
· 1:1 line manager reviews
· Health & Safety training
· Rotation around key business areas covering a broad range of process paths

Progression opportunities
Successful completion of this apprenticeship could lead to a permanent position in our operations team and from there a range opportunities will be available including supervisory and management roles across Amazon in the UK and abroad.
Preferred Qualifications/skills
These will be a plus for your career at Amazon but are not necessary to enter the program.
·  You are able to operate in a challenging and fast paced environment,
·  You are able to demonstrate drive and passion.
Your recruitment process will start with your online application (providing your CV as well as answering questions about the above basic qualifications) and will then take you onto online testing through one of our external training providers.
As a last step, we will invite successful candidates to an on-site assessment center where they will visit the fulfillment center, participate in a group exercise, execute a practical exercise and get a chance to present their profile, motivation and skills 1-on-1 during interviews or presentations.

Amazon is an equal opportunities employer. We believe passionately that employing a diverse workforce is central to our success. We make recruiting decisions based on your experience and skills. We value your passion to discover, invent, simplify and build.
