Tata Consultancy Services has hired 174 graduates in the US this year. These new hires are from 26 states plus the District of Columbia across 71 different universities.

Of the new hire, 74 joined in April and June, while the remaining 100 new hires will join TCS in waves throughout the summer, the company said in a statement.

“TCS is committed to identifying, developing and providing growth opportunities for local talent throughout the U.S.,” said Surya Kant, President of North America, UK & Europe Operations at TCS.

“We view new college hires as an opportunity to grow our highly skilled workforce and help support economic growth across the country.”

All of TCS’ new employees will undergo TCS’ Initial Learning Programme, a six-12 week-long talent development training programme, housed out of TCS’ Cincinnati facility. On completion of the training programme, 100 of the hires will be based at the Cincinnati campus and the remaining 74 will be working in locations across the country to support the business growth in those markets.

These new hires are a continuation of TCS’ policy of adding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) jobs to meet the demands of its global customers.

Over the past four years, TCS has recruited more than 500 skilled college graduates across the United States.
