“Cognizant, a Fortune 500 company that provides an array of technology services to corporate customers, is opening a new office in Mesa, bringing 500 jobs to the city.

The expansion will boost Cognizant's Arizona workforce to nearly 3,000 employees. The company already has operations in Phoenix and Chandler.

In addition, Cognizant announced a partnership with Maricopa Corporate College to provide training in technical and digital-economy jobs at no cost to students selected to participate.
