Cognizant Technology Solutions announced a significant expansion of its commitment to an American AI workforce. The company plans to hire 1,500 U.S. college graduates. Cognizant will scale new AI job categories, such as 'Frontier Certified Engineer.' The company aims to reach 15,000 employees in these roles.
Cognizant joined RAISE US, a new national bipartisan coalition. The company also doubled its global 'Synapse' AI skilling commitment. This commitment aims to train two million people by 2030. Cognizant met its initial one-million-person goal a year ahead of schedule.
CEO Ravi Kumar S stated Cognizant believes AI will create more jobs than it displaces. He added the company invests to prepare American workers for this transition.
