Cognizant Pledges to Expand AI Education and Upskill Workforce

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH) is one of the best IT stocks to invest in according to hedge funds. On September 4, Cognizant announced its participation in the AI Education Taskforce meeting at the White House. The company joined senior executives from other leading AI firms and officials from the Trump Administration to support a national initiative to expand AI education in the US.

Cognizant was one of more than 100 organizations that pledged to empower American youth with skills for an AI-driven future. In its “AI Pledge to America’s Youth,” Cognizant committed to providing philanthropic funding, educational resources, and the time of its employees to promote AI literacy for “thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of students by 2028.” This investment aims to cultivate an “AI-ready workforce.”

Cognizant is also addressing the workforce disruptions caused by AI through its global upskilling initiative, Synapse. The program’s goal is to advance technology job training for one million people worldwide by the end of 2026.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH) is a professional services company that provides consulting, technology, and outsourcing services internationally.
