Built with Blue Origin, to hire for Blue Origin

 

This is not a generic aerospace course. The curriculum was developed by Correlation One with deep input from the Blue Origin team, in direct partnership with Blue Origin, and mapped to the skills required for entry-level L1 Technician roles at their Space Coast, Florida facilities.

Blue Origin's team shaped the program's competencies around the roles they are actively hiring for — so what you learn in class reflects what you'll be asked to do on the floor.

Life on the floor

What hands-on technician work looks like

 

Entry-level technicians work hands-on with flight hardware from day one — on teams building and maintaining vehicles that actually fly.

 
Technician in uniform working beside an aircraft on the flight line
Assembly & IntegrationWorking with fasteners, torque tools, and engineering drawings to build up flight structures: the core of L1 technician work.
Technician inspecting an aircraft engine up close
Inspection & QualityUsing calipers, micrometers, and quality standards to verify that every part meets spec, because in spaceflight, close enough isn't.
Maintenance crew working together on an aircraft
The Production FloorTeam-based work on real vehicles: alongside experienced technicians and engineers, with hardware bound for flight.

Why aerospace, why now

A new trajectory, in work that machines can't easily do

 

If you've wondered how AI will reshape jobs, you're asking the right question. Aerospace is a different kind of answer: an industry pushing into new frontiers - commercial spaceflight, lunar missions, satellite constellations - where skilled hands build, inspect, and test the hardware that makes it all fly.

 

Hands-on by nature

Technicians work with real hardware - composites, fasteners, precision instruments - in tightly regulated, safety-critical environments. In aerospace today, AI tools are being deployed to assist technicians, not to do the work for them.

A frontier economy in expansion

The global space economy is projected to nearly triple: from $630 billion in 2023 to $1.8 trillion by 2035, growing at almost twice the rate of global GDP, as launch costs fall and satellites, navigation, and Earth observation reach into nearly every industry.

New frontiers, built by hand

Lunar landers, orbital rockets like Blue Origin's New Glenn, satellite constellations, next-generation aircraft - every one of them is assembled, inspected, and tested by skilled technicians. This isn't a field replacing itself; it's a field building things that have never existed.

A gateway, not a ceiling

An entry-level technician role is a starting point. From there, technicians commonly progress into specializations — avionics, composites, quality inspection — and toward lead technician and supervisory roles, building credentials and experience along the way.

We won't promise you a specific salary or a guaranteed job - no honest program can. What this program gives you is an employer-informed skill set, guaranteed priority interview consideration at Blue Origin, and a foothold in an industry that is hiring.

Skills that travel

The competencies you'll build - reading engineering drawings, precision measurement, aerospace materials, safety and quality standards - are foundational across the aerospace and advanced manufacturing sector, not tied to a single employer.

The bigger picture: the U.S. aerospace and defense industry employs over two million people, and its workforce has been growing faster than the national average in recent years.

Space economy figures are projections from the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company (2024). Projections are estimates, not guarantees of employment, job openings, or wages. Individual outcomes depend on many factors, including interview performance, role availability, and location.

The Blue Origin partnership

Is priority consideration at Blue Origin really guaranteed?

Yes. Every graduate who successfully completes the Aerospace Technician program is guaranteed priority consideration for interviews at Blue Origin for entry-level technician roles. The priority is guaranteed; interview invitations and hiring decisions remain at Blue Origin's discretion and depend on candidate evaluation and role availability.

 Who developed the curriculum? The curriculum was developed by Correlation One with deep input from the Blue Origin team, in direct partnership with Blue Origin. It was built specifically to prepare graduates for the entry-level L1 Technician roles Blue Origin is hiring for at its Space Coast, Florida facilities.

Program cost

How much does the program cost? Who funds it?

Your participation in the training program will be covered by your annual Amazon Career Choice payment benefit, with any additional costs for the program being covered by Correlation One. If you enroll you will not need to pay for the program out of your own pocket.

Under certain country tax rules, tuition paid by Career Choice is viewed as taxable income. Amazon provides additional compensation to Career Choice participants to offset the income tax impact, but cannot guarantee it will cover all taxes. You may see a tax for this benefit applied to a future paycheck from Amazon. For further information, please consult Amazon Career Choice policy for your country.

Application process

Who should apply?

We encourage any Amazon associates interested in learning and exploring new career options to apply.

This program is only offered to eligible Amazon employees. Please visit Career Choice on A to Z, where eligible employees can find this or related information.

 Are there any prerequisites to apply?

There are no prerequisites to apply; however, the program is restricted to those within commuting distance of the Space Coast, Florida or Huntsville, Alabama. Beginners are welcome, and you do not need to have any previous training or knowledge to succeed here.

 What is the application process? The application process is an easy two step process consisting of a written application and a short skills assessment. Our process is not meant to be intimidating but a chance to get to know you better along the way! Our staff is here to guide you through the process each step of the way.

 

 What is on the Assessments?

The assessment will test your knowledge with a few basic questions specifically tailored to aerospace, designed to gauge your baseline understanding of some foundational concepts. Some of the questions may be difficult, which is normal. The point isn’t to get everything right but to show what you know and how you think so that we can curate the curriculum to your learning needs.

 Can I apply to multiple Career Choice programs with Correlation One now?

You should only apply to one program for now. You may select on your application if you want to be considered for additional programs for which you’re eligible.

 
 When should I apply?

As soon as possible. Training program seats are offered on a rolling basis.

 
 How will I learn whether I got into the program?

A member of our team will reach out to let you know whether you’ve been accepted into the program. They will also let you know how to make sure you’re ready for the program on day one!

Can I keep doing my regular job during the program?

Of course. Our goal is to build the most flexible program for people with busy work and personal lives. With virtual content and an instructor staff ready to accommodate your needs, you’ll be able to succeed regardless of how busy you are. Career Choice also provides Amazon Associates with the ability to apply for school accommodations to reduce or change your work schedule to meet your needs as you complete the course.

 What happens if I leave Amazon after starting the course?

If you leave Amazon for another job during the course you do not have to pay back tuition and you will be able to finish the course!

 
 Who teaches the course?

The course is taught by Correlation One training instructors. They’re great at making concepts easy to understand and practical, so that you can use them in the real world.

 
 Where are the classes held?

There are no specifications required, but a tablet (iPad), Chromebook, or cellphone will NOT be sufficient to complete this training program.

 
 Do I need any special equipment to take the class?

Learners will need a functioning laptop or desktop computer with an internet connection during class time. We will provide everything else you need.

 
 How will I find potential new jobs through the program? Our program is designed to help you in your job search every step of the way. A dedicated Career Success Coach will work with you to understand your unique dreams and vision. From there, we’ll match you with roles that might be a fit. You’ll also be able to hear from top companies during live Career Fairs and events. I can't make the scheduled sessions, can I move classes to another day of the week?
