About the Event

Join us on Friday, August 21st for an exclusive networking event at Frederick Community College designed to accelerate your career path in AWS Data Centers. 

Get an inside look at what it's like to work with AWS through a Tech Talk from current leaders in our Data Centers. Chat with AWS employees, ask questions, and learn more about the team and culture you'd be joining.  

You'll have an opportunity to apply for the role and complete an online assessment right here at the event – laptops provided. Following the event, successful applicants will move forward to a virtual interview pre-booked with the team. Skip the back-and-forth and streamline your interview process! 

This is more than an information session – it's your chance to engage directly with the team, apply in-person and kick off your interview process all in one day.
