Amazon says it will spend roughly 7-thousand U.S. dollars per employee on new training initiatives for a third of its U.S. workforce in the next five years,... including a program to help its workers become more proficient in technologies such as machine learning.
The move comes amid a tight labor market,... and growing fears of widespread job losses due to automation.
Part of the program pledges to give about 100-thousand of its U.S. workers access to education programs,... and will cost the company more than 700 million US dollars.
Some 25-thousand employees have already started the program.
