Amazon to an­nounce it will re­train 100,000 work­ers by 2025 by ex­pand­ing ex­ist­ing train­ing pro­grams & rolling out new ones meant to help em­ploy­ees move into more ad­vanced jobs in­side or find new ca­reers out­side it. Train­ing is vol­un­tary. https://t.co/kYhIaihXnA

Think what you will about Amazon (& whatever you think is likely valid in some way), but this is a big deal! And, it sounds as if some of it goes beyond mere “training” to offer education.
Now, it’s appropriate to ask “what is my organization doing?” https://t.co/rIM9fp2RvT

The reshaping of roles, if done with an eye towards the future of what work will be in the next 5-10 years, can provide incredible opportunities for workers and open the door to new capabilities that are essentially human https://t.co/5SFpFYJJia

Should be a clarion call for secondary/higher ed and workforce development curriculums.

We all know where this leads...
You can't retrain the masses for the job sectors of the few. And (fortunately - if we act #HumanityFirst) even those jobs will be overtaken by #AI.#YangGang #Yang2020 @AndrewYang #FreedomDividend #technews @amazonhttps://t.co/IdjqgtFzYo …
