Amazon Development Centre (South Africa) launched a bursary programme in 2018 for South African citizens from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
The purpose of the Amazon Recruitment Bursary is to develop a talent pipeline for Amazon (AWS) in South Africa.

- Current Gr 12 learners with Mathematics and Physical Science marks of 75% and above
- Current first year students who are consistently obtaining an average of 70% and above
- Applicants must be willing to commit to work for Amazon for the number of years funded

Amazon’s purpose is to be earth’s most customer-centric company; to build a place where people can come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online. At Amazon, we need advanced technology and automation to meet customer demand. New technologies help power faster delivery times, greater selection, and lower costs for our customers. For our associates, technology opens doors to new careers and gives them the opportunity to work in technologically rich environments that are safer and more efficient.
