TCS is looking to expand its operations in Minnesota by creating more jobs and accelerating its education programs for students
TCS announced plans to continue growing its footprint in Minnesota by expanding its hiring program in the coming year and accelerating its STEM outreach efforts in local schools to cover 50% more students and teachers.
“We’re incredibly excited that a global leader in STEM jobs and education programs is expanding here in Minnesota, adding over 100 new jobs to our economy,” said Governor Tim Walz. “Minnesota knows that when our people thrive, our businesses thrive. Our strong tradition of innovation and investing in skills and job training make Minnesota an ideal destination for partnerships with high-tech businesses like TCS. We look forward to continuing this partnership and working together to help prepare Minnesotans for successful careers in STEM.”
Bloomington, Minnesota is home to one of the 30 TCS facilities in the US and supports leading enterprises in Minnesota, including Ameriprise Financial and Best Buy. TCS currently has more than 1,000 employees in the state – including 400 who were hired within the last five years – helping companies along their growth and transformation journeys through consulting services, industry experience, advanced technology, and intellectual property.
“TCS is committed to expanding our presence in Minnesota and finding talent in the North Star State to provide local businesses with innovative solutions to their biggest challenges,” said Suresh Muthuswami,cChairman of North America, TCS. “We also look forward to fostering the next generation of tech talent in Minnesota schools. That goal is driving our commitment to growing our STEM education initiatives by 50% in the coming years.”
TCS brought its goIT program to Minnesota in 2014. This STEM training initiative fosters digital innovation and career readiness at local middle and high schools. Over 42,000 students in the US and Canada have been directly impacted by goIT, and 75% of students in Minnesota benefitting from goIT belong to groups currently underrepresented in computer science.
