TCS to create 1.2K jobs, extend STEM program in Illinois
Multinational IT services and consulting firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is looking to open 1,200 jobs and accelerate its STEM education program in Illinois, United States (US), by 2024.
According to TCS North America Chairman Suresh Muthuswami, this expansion is driven by companies that are using obstacles — such as the pandemic, inflation, supply chain problems, and talent demand — as an opportunity to transform themselves and capture growth.
“TCS is attracting the brightest talent in cloud computing, AI, cybersecurity, and other technologies to help them become future-ready enterprises,” Muthuswami added.
TCS has been present in the US for over 50 years and has continued helping Fortune 500 companies in their digital transformation and growth.
In Illinois, over 3,000 locals are working for the firm – including 1,100 who were hired within the last five years — making it the second-largest recruiter of IT services talent in the country.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, TCS’s expansion is a testament to the state’s “first-rate education system and extraordinarily talented workforce.”
“With their STEM Education Initiatives, the next generation of Illinoisans will be prepared for the innovative jobs of the future—jobs that will transform our state into the premier tech hub in the nation.”
