Infosys celebrated the graduation of 39 students from Brazil who studied last year at its Global Education Center in Mysore, Karnataka.

The regional Brazilian Government of Minas Gerais collaborated with Infosys to send the group of students and young professionals to the center between June and November 2012.

Their training focused on Internet-based technologies. Infosys' Mysore centre is the largest corporate training facility in the world, training 12,000 students each year.

The students, who graduated in January, are the first ever class of technology students from that country to study at this centre in India. The 39 graduates were drawn from Brazilian universities, post-graduate programmes, and expanding technology firms.

“The graduates will benefit from their Infosys experience throughout their careers because a key component is presenting core training with new education models so they can continue to grow and learn on their own,” said Puneet Gill, Head of Infosys Brazil.

Brazil and India make up half of the so-called BRIC nations. Along with Russia and China, they are the fastest and largest markets expected to develop over the next two decades, according to many leading economists.
