Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced that it will recruit 1,500 technology employees across the UK over the next year.
The announcement followed Monday’s meeting in Mumbai between visiting UK Trade Secretary Liz Truss and TCS CEO, Rajesh Gopinathan, where they discussed the company’s commitment to continue investing in the UK’s economy, innovation, technology sector, and in developing workforce skills.
“The announcement builds on TCS’s rich 45-year history in the UK. By partnering with some of UK’s largest corporations in their growth and transformation initiatives and helping them harness the power of emerging technologies to launch new innovative products and services, TCS has been an integral part of the UK economy’s initiatives to remain globally competitive,” the IT services company said in a press release.
TCS is also one of the UK’s largest recruiters of IT talent, with 54 nationalities represented. Women make up 28 per cent of the workforce, much higher than the 17 per cent average in the IT sector.
