Infosys has celebrated the graduation of 39 students from Brazil who studied last year at its state-of-the-art Global Education Center in Mysore, India.
The regional Brazilian government of Minas Gerais collaborated with Infosys to send the group of students and young professionals to the Infosys Global Education Center at the company’s Mysore campus, between June and November, 2012. Their training focused on Internet-based technologies while they stayed at the largest corporate training facility in the world which trains close to 12,000 students each year.
The graduation ceremony, held on January 25, 2013 at the stately Palacio Tiradentes in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, marks the first-ever class of technology students from the country to study at this center in India. The 39 graduates come from Brazilian universities, post-graduate programs, 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.
Gill further added that Infosys will continue to work with the government of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais to decide how to build upon this first class of successful training.
