This week we were joined by Kevin Kelly, Director, Cloud Training Programs at Amazon Web Services to talk about how to help unemployed Americans find new career paths during the pandemic.  We talked about the various programs offered through AWS to help people develop their skills and how to utilize the skills you already have in new roles.  We also talked about the skills that are in high demand, how to help underrepresented communities have better access to new roles, and how organizations have made a commitment to reskill their employees.  AWS Training & Cert.
