TCS on Thursday announced plans to create 1,200 new jobs in the US by the end of 2024.
The Indian IT services company will create jobs in the state of Illinois, along with accelerating its STEM outreach efforts in local schools to cover 25 per cent more students and teachers.
More than 3,000 Illinoisans currently work for TCS – including 1,100 who were hired within the last five years.
Naperville is home to one of the 30 TCS facilities in the US where TCS employees help digitally transform and grow businesses that are cornerstones of the Illinois economy, such as United Airlines and Walgreens Boots Alliance.
Suresh Muthuswami, Chairman of North America, TCS, said that the expansion in Illinois is driven by companies that use these obstacles as an opportunity to transform themselves and capture growth. They are investing to overcome today’s challenges and become more resilient for tomorrow.
TCS is attracting the brightest talent in cloud computing, AI, cybersecurity and other technologies to help them become future-ready enterprises.
Nearly half of the Fortune 500 companies partner with TCS to digitally transform and grow their businesses.
TCS has hired 512 graduates of Illinois colleges and universities over the past five years, and it is the second largest recruiter of IT services talent in the country.
