Amazon's free training library for sellers: videos and guides on listing products, fulfilment, advertising and growing a store.
Why I recommend it: Free to watch, but it's Amazon teaching you to sell on Amazon — selling itself carries monthly and per-item fees. Compare against other channels before committing.
Free, full-time cloud skills program for unemployed and underemployed adults, with employer connections.
Why I recommend it: No tech background required and it ends in interviews, not just a certificate. Check local delivery partners for the next cohort date.
Amazon's $30 million accelerator for pre-seed founders from underrepresented backgrounds, offering equity-free cash, AWS credits, hands-on technical architecture support, mentorship, and introductions to venture capital networks.
In plain terms: This program supports early-stage startups led by Black, women, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ founders. Eligible entrepreneurs can apply to receive cash funding, cloud credits, technical guidance, and mentorship to grow their businesses.
Why I recommend it: Equity-free money plus cloud credits is rare. Best fit if you already have a working prototype and a small amount of traction.
