Summary
The company plans to hire 1,500 US graduates, create 15,000 specialised engineering and business-operator roles, and double its global AI-skilling target to two million people by 2030. Cognizant also joined the RAISE US coalition, while its broader productivity and economic estimates remain company projections.
