AWS Work-Based Learning Program 2026: Paid 12-Month Training and Entry-Level Data Centre Logistics Careers in the United States

Overview

The AWS Work-Based Learning Program 2026 is a paid, 12-month training and employment opportunity offered by Amazon Web Services. The programme is designed for individuals seeking to build practical skills and begin entry-level careers in data centre operations, logistics, infrastructure installation, and technology support. For 2026, AWS is advertising entry-level Work Based Learning Program Logistics Specialist positions, including an opportunity based in New Albany, Ohio, United States, with additional locations in the surrounding Ohio region.

What you get

Participants receive a paid 12-month curriculum that combines self-directed online instruction, instructor-led training, on-the-job workplace experience, safety training, and certifications. The programme utilizes assessments and performance milestones to evaluate progress and prepare candidates for technical roles within AWS data centres. Candidates who successfully complete the required curriculum, safety certifications, technical competencies, and performance milestones can progress into their designated roles.

Requirements

Applicants for the United States positions require existing work authorization that does not depend on employer sponsorship. Additionally, the Ohio locations carry a specific United States citizenship restriction associated with AWS GovCloud access. The programme is relevant to people who want to enter the technology industry without extensive professional experience in data centre operations, though applicants must still satisfy the eligibility requirements for their chosen position.
