Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos joined Obama and Biden at a press conference with representatives from more than 40 companies that participate in the program, known as Joining Forces, and vowed to boost the tech giant's role in the effort. Amazon doubled its number of veteran employees by hiring more than 10,000 veterans and military spouses since 2013, and Bezos pledged that his company will hire 25,000 more during the next five years.
Bezos said his company will also train 10,000 additional veterans and military spouses in cloud computing, "providing a gateway into a high-demand, good-paying field."
