Infosys Breaks Ground on New Indy Training Hub
(INDIANAPOLIS) – Infosys has broken ground on its 70-acre tech training hub at the Indianapolis airport.
Infosys announced plans for an American training center earlier this year. President Ravi Kumar says the company realized it couldn’t possibly recruit enough already-skilled workers, so the training hub will serve as a “finishing school,” giving Infosys and its corporate clients a pipeline of workers with the skills needed for a digital-age economy.
Construction will begin in earnest in February, with the first phase of the training center opening for business at the end of 2020. Infosys plans to hire three-thousand workers over the next five years for what eventually will be an 18-building complex.
Governor Holcomb says in addition to the jobs the hub itself will bring, the company’s focus on identifying the job skills that will be needed five years down the road lines up with Indiana’s efforts to build its own skilled workforce to attract other companies.
