Infosys Looking to Hire 12,000 Experienced Technology Professionals and Recent Graduates in America

Infosys has announced its intent to hire nearly 12,000 American workers by 2022. The company said that the company is looking to hire experienced technology professionals as well as recent graduates from major universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges for a variety of roles. Infosys says that while 13,000 professionals have been hired since 2017, the IT giant will bring its hiring commitment in the country to 25,000 over five years.

“Infosys has been intensely focused on creating jobs in the US for the past three years, and I am proud that this new commitment to hire 12,000 American workers by 2022 expands on that previous initiative,” said Salil Parekh, CEO, Infosys. “We are excited to grow our presence in the US as the digital transformation journeys of our clients accelerate.”

Recently, Infosys introduced a Reskill and Restart initiative, as part of which the company along with its talent partners Merit America, Per Scholas, Revature, and Woz Enterprise, is helping job seekers in America with aptitude and skills assessment, followed by curated job-specific skills training, and culminating in matching them with available positions. The IT major says that the selected employees will be prepared for 21st-century careers through the skilling initiative.

“While we continue to leverage our established university partnerships to strengthen our talent pool, our recently launched Reskill and Restart platform will play a crucial role in our growth as we meet this commitment. We will bring a specific focus on building pathways for those who have been impacted by the economic downturn and look forward to bringing on board individuals without traditional four-year degrees. Workers who have been left out of the digital economy will now have the opportunity to gain the skills needed for 21st-century careers,” said Ravi Kumar, president, Infosys

The company has also launched six Technology and Innovation Centers in the US across Indiana, North Carolina, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Texas, and Arizona in the past three years.
