What if your first step into tech didn’t mean choosing between learning and earning? For Stephen Osiki, it didn’t. Stephen shares what motivated him to pursue Cognizant’s Apprenticeship Program and how hands-on experience, structured learning and real projects helped him build the skills he now uses as a Programmer Analyst. Our Apprenticeship program is part of Synapse; Cognizant’s global skilling initiative focused on preparing 2 million people for the jobs of the future. Through Synapse, we’re creating pathways into tech that combine paid, on the job learning with mentorship and formal training, so emerging talent can grow with confidence.

AI is reopening new doors for mainframe modernization, but it’s not as simple as turning on a tool and watching transformation happen. In a new blog, Nishant Upadhyaya and Akshat Jhaveri (AJ) explore how organizations are using AI to accelerate complex modernization efforts, from code analysis to testing and migration. The gains are real, but only when AI is paired with engineering expertise, structured governance and a clear execution strategy. They also unpack a key shift – modernization doesn’t have to be a sunk cost. With the right approach, it can fund itself while also reducing risk and maintaining business continuity. For leaders navigating legacy constraints and AI ambitions, this is where strategy meets reality. Read the full blog: https://cgnz.at/6046vGfm2

What if your business was built to anticipate every customer's goal? That’s the power of organizing experiences around human intent. At our session at Google Cloud Next 2026, we explored the Agentic Experience Architecture — a horizontal AI layer designed to do just that: understand customer goals, reason over enterprise context and orchestrate consistent experiences across touchpoints. This vision was brought to life on stage, where our Chief Business Officer for AI, Sushant Warikoo, was joined by Gerardo Muñoz Martin, Chief Technology & Information Officer at El Puerto de Liverpool, to share how this transformation is becoming a reality. The new blueprint is built on three critical layers working in harmony: ✅ The Context Fabric: A living, governed knowledge system creating the cognitive core for every interaction. ✅ The Agentic Orchestration Layer: The central coordinator that plans and routes work between human and AI actors. ✅ The Workflow Governance Layer: A foundation of trust that provides policy-aware orchestration, audit, and ethical guardrails. The result is a powerful flywheel effect: a better experience attracts more engagement, which generates richer context, making your entire business smarter. Missed the conversation? Watch the highlight video to learn how we're reimagining the future of customer experience leveraging this NEW Agentic Experience Architecture. ▶️ Watch here: https://cgnz.at/6043vGosb
