Many IT Jobs Coming to NC

Governor Pat McCrory and North Carolina Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker announced that HCL Technologies Ltd (HCL), a leading global IT services provider will be expanding its presence in Wake County.  The company plans to expand its existing center and create an additional 1,237 jobs in Cary by the end of 2018. As part of its strategy to accelerate innovation and further enhance satisfaction for its clients, HCL sees Cary as a strategic talent hub in the Americas and will invest approximately $9 million in expanding the center. The company continues to invest in its global delivery footprint in order to enhance value for its clients by developing nearshore capabilities. “HCL has been steadily building its Wake County presence and one reason is the incredible talent pool the Triangle region has to offer IT companies," Governor McCrory said. HCL in America is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. With more than 8,000 employees in 15 states, HCL will hire computer professionals to develop, maintain and upgrade software applications and provide services to global clients. Salaries will vary by job function and experience, but the average annual payroll for the new jobs is expected to be nearly $64 million. The project was also made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $123,700. For more information, please visit www.hcltech.com
