Infosys advertises that it offers its entry level employees access to its intensive technical training program: a 14-week program which Infosys claims educational experts certify is the equivalent of a Bachelor's of Science degree. The competition to be accepted for a position at Infosys is extremely competitive, requiring significant academic achievements in technology and the completion of engineering courses. The introductory program seeks to make new hires better prepared before they start working on technological projects.
The training that Infosys offers its employees is not solely technical in nature. Because Infosys invests so much in selecting and training individual employees, it also gives them training in non-technical areas that will increase their potential to advance in responsibility and general effectiveness at the company. This includes cultural sensitivity classes to help the engineers from a wide variety of national backgrounds work together on teams, to improve communications with customers and by offering general leadership and management courses.
Although a system achieves operational status does not mean that it is finished. Any number of bugs could lie dormant in the system and emerge when client companies begin putting systems through the paces. Consequently, developers must employ robust testing procedures to eradicate bugs before systems and software ship to customers.
Infosys also offers more in depth training in its Infosys Leadership System at its Infosys Leadership Institute. Based in Mysore, India, the ILI teaches the way in which the ILS divides operational responsibility across separate, but cooperating groups. This system trains individuals in leadership capabilities prior to formal instruction at the ILI commences, enabling InfoSys to facilitate long term sustainable growth.
