Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme I am on is very well structured. Lectures are organised to fit in around our working day and are not too frequent, making it easier to manage both work and a degree.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
At Capgemini, you will receive an abundance of support. On joining, you will be allocated a buddy and a reviewer. These will help your transition into Capgemini smooth, clear and easy. As well as this, everyone at Capgemini is happy to help, no matter their grade or position.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Quarterly reviews are held with your University coach and your manager, as a chance to review your progress both in your Degree studies and your job. Additionally, University coaches are there to answer any questions you may have about your course, and also help you to submit Off the Job training to go towards your degree.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
So far in my apprenticeship, my studies towards my degree, have enabled me to join various initiatives at Capgemini, to help market Capgemini's GAP opportunities and also enhance their brand in the eye of future apprentices. Additionally, it has given me the strategic management skills, to help make certain processes better and get more involved with networks such as the Early and Emerging Talent community.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
There are plenty of social events to get involved with, and to get the chance to meet other apprentices and Capgemini colleagues physically, not just virtually. As well as this, there is the opportunity to attend professional networking events and represent Capgemini, at events such as volunteering days and conferences.
