Indian IT company Infosys has moved to create 100 apprenticeships within the UK in partnerships with the National Apprenticeship Scheme (NAS) in a five year scheme.

Infosys employs 150,000 people globally in a industry that has seen criticism for the employment of lower cost Indian workers in IT services at the expense of UK employees.

The apprenticeship will be created in marketing and human resources and comes on the back of a similar scheme earlier this year from Wipro which offered IT training internships to UK students.
