Melbourne’s world-leading educational universities and institutions enjoy a reputation for producing globally recognised graduates in digital engineering and tech, and this skill base has continued to benefit the company’s innovations. To tap into the state’s talent pipeline Infosys’ graduate program, InStep, collaborates closely with Victorian universities including the University of Melbourne, Deakin University, Monash University and RMIT.
The company’s continuing relationship with Melbourne is further cemented by the company’s digital innovation partnership with the Australian Open (AO), now in its fourth year.
