He said that Amazon has jobs for people of all backgrounds and all educational backgrounds
It is helpful to have a college degree, but you need not have one to build a successful career, said Amazon.com Inc. president and CEO, Andy Jassy on September 16.
“Is it helpful to have a college degree? I think, yes. Do you have to have a college degree to have a successful career? No. We (Amazon) have jobs for people of all backgrounds and all educational backgrounds too,” he said at a virtual fireside chat organised in connection with Amazon Career Day.
He said Amazon has a lot of ‘good’ and ‘solid’ jobs, particularly on the fulfillment front. Globally, the company would be hiring 55,000 technical and corporate employees and would add 1,25,000 people to the fulfillment network. It would hire over 8,000 people across 35 cities in India.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
