Preparing the Next Generation of Technical Talent

As technology continues to reshape industries, the demand for skilled technical professionals has never been greater. AWS Skills to Jobs Tech Alliance and CodeSignal are addressing this challenge by providing students with hands-on coding assessments, interview preparation, and real-world simulations. These initiatives will help students transition from learning environments to high-impact technical careers. The program will initially launch in the United States, Malaysia, Brazil, and Colombia with key university partners locally, with the goal to expand into additional regions in the fall of 2025.

"At CodeSignal, we believe that hands-on learning and high-quality assessments are key to launching successful tech careers," said Tigran Sloyan, CEO at CodeSignal. "Working alongside AWS, we aim to empower learners across multiple regions with the most innovative tools they need to develop their skills and showcase their abilities to secure meaningful employment in the tech industry."

"AWS is committed to creating opportunities for learners to develop in-demand skills that align with the evolving needs of the workforce, today and in the future," said Valerie Singer, general manager for AWS Global Education. "By collaborating with CodeSignal, an AWS Education Equity Initiative Awardee, we are ensuring that students not only gain theoretical knowledge, but also develop the practical skills required to succeed in technical and cloud careers."

Strengthening Workforce Readiness in Technology and Cloud

This initiative underscores AWS and CodeSignal's commitment to developing a skilled global workforce by providing students with hands-on experiences that mirror real-world technical assessments and on-the-job scenarios. By scaling these efforts across multiple regions, the Skills to Jobs Developer Challenges aim to bridge the skills gap and create new pathways for tech careers.

Together, AWS and CodeSignal are not just preparing students for their first job in tech—they are helping shape the future of a more skilled and job-ready global workforce and preparing the next generation of tech and cloud talent.
