Anthropic signs DXC as a second Global Premier partner and launches $150M Claude Corps fellowship — all on June 11
On June 11, Anthropic added DXC Technology — a 115,000-person IT services firm — as a Global Premier partner, embedding Claude in the mission-critical systems it runs for banks, airlines, and governments. The same day, Anthropic launched Claude Corps, a $150M national fellowship placing 1,000 early-career workers inside U.S. nonprofits for 12-month paid engagements. Both were missed in yesterday's brief.
Anthropic's newsroom logged two more material events on June 11 that were not in yesterday's brief: a global alliance with IT services giant DXC Technology, and the launch of Claude Corps — a $150 million national fellowship program placing AI-trained workers inside nonprofits.
DXC Technology: Claude inside the systems that run regulated industries
DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) announced a multi-year global alliance with Anthropic on June 11, joining the Claude Partner Network as a Global Premier partner — one of a small number of firms at that designation. 1
DXC manages IT infrastructure for the world's largest banks, airlines, insurers, manufacturers, and government agencies — 115,000 employees across 70 countries. The deal's thesis is straightforward: DXC has already deployed Claude inside its own operations and validated it against production-grade security requirements before offering the same capability to clients.
That internal track record is concrete. In April 2026, DXC launched DXC OASIS, an AI-native orchestration platform for managed services where Claude now serves as the default foundation model. DXC says Claude was also the primary tool used to build OASIS — more than 95% of the code was Claude-generated before human review, and software delivery accelerated by an estimated 10x. OASIS is already in production with more than 50 customers. 2
Under the alliance, DXC will recruit engineers from its existing development teams and put them through a 90-day certification track via the Anthropic Partner Academy before embedding them directly inside customer environments. Initial focus areas:
- Insurance — agentic solutions and core-systems modernization tailored to each customer's context
- Modernization as a Service (MaaS) — Claude-assisted analysis, refactoring, and transformation of legacy codebases
- Cybersecurity — an always-on security engineer sub-agent inside DXC's SOCs, built on Claude Security
- Application services — Claude-powered OASIS agents embedded in the application maintenance environments DXC runs for enterprise clients
"For more than 50 years, DXC and the companies it was built from run the systems that run the world. This is a defining moment for DXC and for the industry." — Raul Fernandez, President & CEO, DXC Technology

The partnership extends the pattern set by the TCS deal announced the same day: Anthropic is systematically converting the large IT services firms that act as middlemen between frontier AI and regulated-industry clients into certified distribution channels.
Claude Corps: $150M to put AI fellows inside nonprofits
Separately on June 11, Anthropic announced Claude Corps, a $150 million national fellowship program designed to place early-career workers inside U.S. nonprofits for 12-month, full-time paid engagements. 3
The structure is a three-way partnership:
- Anthropic funds the program, sets strategy, and provides Claude access and technical support
- CodePath — America's largest provider of collegiate computer science education and an existing Anthropic nonprofit partner — acts as employer of record and leads weekly training (five hours per week throughout the fellowship)
- Social Finance (nonprofit and registered investment advisor) handles measurement, evaluation, and will build a financial vehicle to scale the program
Each fellow receives a full-time salary of $85,000, benefits, a CodePath mentor, an expansive Claude token budget, and access to Anthropic office hours. The first cohort of 100 fellows starts in October 2026; applications close July 17. Two subsequent cohorts begin in January 2027 and August 2027. Anyone over 18 with under two years of full-time work experience and U.S. work authorization is eligible.
Host organizations in the inaugural cohort include Braven, Code the Dream, Code for America, Goodwill Industries International, International Rescue Committee, Montgomery County Food Bank, RAINN, Team Red White & Blue, YMCA of Greater Charlotte, and roughly 400 nonprofits total in the first year.
Anthropic frames the program explicitly as a response to AI-driven labor displacement — announced alongside Dario Amodei's June 10 policy essay calling for government power to block dangerous AI deployments. The stated ambition is to open-source core infrastructure so other organizations can replicate the model at national scale.
What this means together
Both announcements land on the same day and reflect the same strategy from opposite ends of the economic ladder: DXC is a $3B+ revenue enterprise IT services firm with 115,000 employees; the nonprofits in Claude Corps collectively serve millions of low-income Americans. Anthropic is building distribution infrastructure at both ends simultaneously — certified enterprise integrators for regulated-industry revenue, and a public-interest track that converts AI labor-market disruption into a reputational and policy asset ahead of its IPO.
The DXC and TCS deals together represent Global Premier placements with two of the world's largest IT services firms within 24 hours. Anthropic's partner network is consolidating fast.
