The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has named Cognizant as a strategic partner in its TechFirst programme, aimed at helping young people enter the tech sector. Over the next four years, Cognizant will provide 100 work placements for students and contribute 1,000 volunteering hours to mentor youth across UK schools. This initiative supports the government's goal to develop tech skills and open pathways for over 4,000 graduates and reach one million students, addressing the growing demand for talent in the fast-evolving tech and AI industries. Cognizant's involvement builds on its previous AI skills initiatives and aligns with the UK’s broader AI Opportunities Action Plan.
