It is not known which areas of Microsoft’s business will be targeted for the workforce surge, though the scheme exhibit’s Microsoft’s broader aim to expand business in the country.
Some of those jobs will come via the Microsoft’s apprenticeships programme, which will help train unemployed young people across Britain.
