Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Employees of Amazon who have been thinking about striking out on their own….are getting some help…from their current employer.  Amazon is offering to fund up to ten thousand dollars in start up costs…and provide three months pay…for employees to start their own package delivery businesses.    There is other training and help available too.  Amazon’s Amanda Ip…

“Amazon has a long history of creating programs that empower employees to pursue their career aspirations.  So we’re really excited to be offering this new career offering for our employees to take this next step in their career and build their own delivery business.”

So what is the motivation here?   With Amazon’s move to next day delivery for Prime members…the need for more delivery partners is greater than ever.   For more..head to www.logistics.amazon.com.
