The internet giant said it was offering 40 entry to
degree-level apprenticeship schemes, including new schemes in the areas of
publishing, retailing, marketing, and a programme focused on environmental,
social, and corporate governance (ESG).
Amazon said it grew its permanent UK workforce by 25,000 in
2021, taking the total to 70,000.
The group had previously announced it would create 10,000
roles in 2021 and end the year with 55,000 permanent employees.
However, it recruited an additional 15,000 for its fulfilment
centres, sort centres, and delivery stations across the UK as well for
corporate and research and development functions.
Amazon says it has invested GBP 32 billion in the UK since
2010, though it does not break down that investment.
Its expansion in 2021 included its first 17 physical stores
in the UK — 15 Amazon Fresh food stores in London, and two Amazon 4-star retail
stores in London and Kent, which sell a selection of products from Amazon and
UK small businesses. © Reuters
