Case Study: Capital One achieves top-talent attraction and industry-leading AWS certifications with Amazon Web Services

Support for Learning AWS and Other New Technologies Helps Capital One Attract Top Talent

Capital One faced the challenge of shifting to a cloud-first strategy with AWS while securing companywide buy-in and reskilling both technical and non-technical employees—at the same time it needed to attract and retain top technology talent. Leadership also wanted assurance that the organization could keep pace with rapidly changing technologies.

The company established the Capital One Tech College and a Technology Development Program, offering tailored online and in-person training, role-specific tracks, and AWS certification support for all associates. As a result, Capital One is now among the top three enterprises globally for employee-held AWS certifications, has strengthened a culture of continuous learning, and finds it easier to recruit and develop top talent.
