Resumes at the ready, YYC, we’ve got big news from the corporate world! The multinational tech company, Infosys, has announced that they’ll be expanding operations from India all the way to Calgary, meaning we could see as many as 500 new jobs on the market!
This news really couldn’t have come at a better time considering the unfortunate reality that is the COVID pandemic. With so many who have lost their jobs, this could be a huge deal for our city! Infosys, with over 240,000 employees worldwide, provides software development and services to some of the globe’s largest financial, insurance, and manufacturing companies. In short, it’s a beast.
