High school students: looking for your first job?
The world is changing — and fast. So, when you’re considering what your future looks like, Amazon can be that stepping stone. We have plenty of options for high school students working at Amazon.
Beginning your college studies
If you need to work while at school, we can help. We give students the ability to schedule their own shifts and work around their classes and studies.
We also understand that life can be unpredictable, and our employees need the flexibility to balance work and school — that's why we have you covered.
