I believe you misinterpreted. State community colleges are likely better than any sort of "training programs" Amazon provides in terms of education. If those "training programs" happen to include a waiver at a full state university, then of course not, but the program waivers aren't entirely composed of 4 year universities and many seem to be Amazon tailored programs, based on the article.

Ah, I see.

I misinterpreted you as saying that Amazon was using a real college as a training program.

If Amazon will pay for "education", and the options are a four year degree or an Amazon training program, I'll take the degree and ignore their training.
