Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
One skill I have developed is my confidence. This is because I have had to do tasks and speak to people of a certain level in my business, which I have never done before. Not only has this developed my confidence but my public speaking due to the calls that I lead.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme is very well organised. I have been given the dates for my training programme as well as my mock exam and actual exam well in advanced. It is a very in depth programme and has lots of extra things you can get yourself involved in, such as, the Multiverse community hub.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I recieve a lot of support from Capgemini. I have a 'buddy' for my project who has been training me and helping me throughout my time on this project.
As well as a buddy, I also have a line manager/reviewer who I have weekly calls with. My reviewers is really great, he answers every question that I have and has really supported me.

I recieve a monthlty 1:1 coaching session from my trainer. In this session we go through my assignments and how I am progressing through the training sessions/modules.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
My trainng qualification has some great attributes, which helps me to perform better in my role. This is because it helps to give me an understaning of what I do and what impact it has on the project.
This qualification will help me get to the next stage in my career, a project manager.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
My advice would be to really research into the companies ethos/ethics understand each of the seven values, since they are really valued here at this company. Another bit of advice I would give is to be yourself in the interviews. Cap want to work with fun and easy going people who really want to be appart of the community.
