The Youth Promise programme plans starting salaries of £31,000 and job training for people outside education, employment or training.
Amazon aims to create 30,000 new entry-level jobs in the UK by 2030 through its Amazon Youth Promise programme. The company announced the plan on October 20, 2026, according to HR Brew reporting republished by Fortune on October 23, citing The Independent.
The programme follows government efforts to encourage employers to address youth unemployment. Young workers in the UK face a higher rate of joblessness than older workers, the report says.
The initiative is aimed at young workers, with starting salaries of £31,000, according to the report. It also plans job training for people who are not in education, employment or training.
The report puts the number of people in that group across the UK at roughly one million, mainly concentrated in the country’s largest cities.
The hiring pledge follows cuts elsewhere in Amazon’s business. The October 23 report says the company had cut 30,000 corporate jobs over the preceding year to restructure its business and focus more on AI.
The Youth Promise figure is a future target, not a tally of jobs already created. Amazon’s stated aim is to create the 30,000 new entry-level roles by 2030.
