Infosys currently has fewer than 10 employees in Calgary, so the expansion will enable the company to increase its efforts with clients in Western Canada, Pacific Northwest, and the Central United States. The work will be directed across various industries, including natural resources, energy, media, retail, and communications.
The company will be hiring tech talent from local educational institutes in Alberta, including the University of Calgary, University of Alberta, and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.
“Digital transformation and preparing the workforce of tomorrow is a primary focus for SAIT,” says Dr. David Ross, President and CEO, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, “It is important to have leading companies like Infosys that have a strong commitment to developing talent locally and offer career paths for graduates.”
