Participants will experience the full annual cycle applicable for both Specialist and HRBP functions and have the chance to "dive deep" while growing in the ability to "think big." A key component of the 24-roadmap will be the development of an individual career growth plan that identifies focus areas for the second assignment and post-program assignment.

In the specialist assignment, participants will take on client-specific projects furthering AWS HR strategic initiatives with the objective being to create programs that tackle critical business priorities. Participants will work with their leaders and coaches to identify real-time priorities that align to their career growth plan.

In the HRBP assignment, participants will provide full cycle HR leadership and support to our Amazon Web Services Infrastructure organization.
