Amazon Ready Leaders

Program Overview:
Amazon Ready Leaders (ARL) is a partnership program between Amazon and Tennessee State University to produce work-ready graduates with specialized skills. This program is a combination of paid internships and course work, leading to a minor,  that will produce an Amazon Ready Leader.  Students from various disciplines will explore content in four focus areas: organizational behavior, leadership, operations management, and logistics/supply chain management. Course work is also comprised of a variety of experiential learning exercises designed to strengthen the development of students’ interpersonal and written communication skills. A capstone exercise blending course content and work experiences from internships, job shadowing opportunities, and mentoring sessions will be the culminating experience before students permanently enter the Amazon workforce.

At the end of the program, ARL students will be awarded a minor from TSU in Amazon Leadership and a certificate from Amazon, and have the foundational skills and knowledge to enter Amazon’s largest business segment–supply and distribution–as entry-level operations managers. For more information about the Amazon Ready Certificate, please visit:  https://amazonreadycertificate.com.
