Bengaluru: The National Council for Work Experience (NCWE) Awards 2013, which are in their tenth year of recognising and rewarding employers who provide high quality internships to students and graduates, has awarded this accolade to Infosys, according to a company statement.
The Infosys InStep programme, which commenced in 2009 and offers students a three-month placement in India, has won the Work Placement of the Year crown in the category for best large organisation (more than 250 employees) with short-term placements of up to three months. The judges praised Infosys for providing cultural diversity opportunities and commended a three-tier support system and for putting considerable consideration into engaging students over the longer term despite it being a short-term placement.
Carol McCarthy, Head of Human Resources in EMEA for Infosys said: “The Infosys InStep programme is designed to provide a forum for cultural exchange and helps bring fresh ideas into the company. As well as raising awareness of the Infosys brand among future leaders, we hope to prepare a younger generation for the global marketplace in which they will forge their careers.”
Categories in NCWE cover organisations large and small, and all sectors including charities and public sector companies.
