Hundreds of new tech jobs are coming to Nova Scotia.
IBM and Nova Scotia Business Inc. have a deal that will bring 350 highly skilled jobs to our province. The jobs will be created over five years and will focus on a process that automates the way customers access data.
“Nova Scotia has a special place for us at IBM. The province has a globally recognized culture of innovation, and we are proud to be contributing to local economic growth by creating high value jobs,” said Dave McCann, Managing Partner, IBM Consulting Canada. “By significantly expanding our team, we will create more opportunities for Nova Scotians, and build capacity for IBM to help our clients as they seize a wide array of opportunities created by evolving digital technologies.”
The expansion comes at a time when COVID has led organizations to realize the potential for digital services and process automation and aligns with investments the Government of Nova Scotia is making to expand and enhance computer science programs in the province.
“As a government, we are focused on strategic economic growth, and that means creating jobs, increasing wages and bringing more businesses to our Province. As our ICT sector grows, we must work together with companies, such as IBM, to ensure we invest in the highly skilled talent here in Nova Scotia with equity and inclusion at the forefront,” said Susan Corkum-Greek, Minister of the Nova Scotia Department of Economic Development.
The company will focus on hiring a mix of new graduates and experienced professionals in the digital field.
