My dystopian novel predicted this s*** lmao

Company towns?

Towns where a company employs most of the population and owns mostly everything

so this is one class or like a suite of classes constituting a whole separate track? i assume it's elective (if im sure heavily promoted) and not mandatory? i rather take yearbook class

It's the latter, it's a series of courses which also includes outside 'intern work' (with Amazon of course) as a curriculum requirement. It's a complete & full curriculum, not just a temp course which is actually a thinly veiled recruitment camp (something Tesla has done at MIT for example).

wtf

This is great. Supply chain management can make a lot of money but not too many people know about it

I think the real/main issue is that its only Amazon focused. If youre familar with similar partnerships, i dont know how you dont see a one only option is an issue.

When you do car mechanics or welding in HS that have job opportunities & sponsoring, you arent funneled into one literal buisness. There are multiple opportunities & all the buisnesses & colleges are competitng with each other to make the best programs, funding, realtionships & postions that also benefits the high school & class.

The program isnt stagnated, linear funneling nor a straight up "propaganda/marketing" machine.

If this was an education partnership between multiple buisnesses like say Walmart, Amazon, Lowes etc. then yeah it would be great.

It being literal only one & basically bought out by one; you can see the issue.

@op @OS9 @AKFresh

Sounds like good business to me

For the job/school (money n promo wise), not the students or a career.

Well that depends on the student

happens in the military all the time.....20 years telling 30+ years old what to do.

Not really when all they know is Amazon practices & Amazon way of dealings.

Amazon isnt teaching a general lesson nor is there other buisnesses to show other/their ways.

You're being taught only Amazon at a young age where most students arent aware of other options either.

So don’t take the courses and work for Amazon

It could be some selective biases dripped into these courses definitely, but if you are enforcing the importance of s*** like AWS, cloud computing, supply chain to a younger audience, I think it’s definitely a necessary evil

I’ve probably applied to 50 jobs since graduating, and have seen even more listings, and some cloud service, typically AWS, has been featured in the vast majority

I didn’t read the articles to see what they’re specifically teaching, also

When your school is promoting it & thats their new alternative without any other options its kinda hard lol

Thats why its an issue because there isnt any options in that field like a traditional mechanics sponsorship 💀

You took time to write the comments but didn't see it was about supply chains? Aint got nothing to do with AWS.

Why restate what I just said?

this life s*** really just a video game

Because I dont understand people who just write random s*** with zero correlation to the article. No they dont teach AWS

Wait OP a troll man it's just computer science courses

Then move on nigga we gonna keep this uninformed commentating s*** going

Is this CS to you?
