Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I wrap software to make it automated with no user interaction. Working with PSADT SCCM Active Directory testing application, raising Changes, deploying the application, communicating with Project Managers, the client, Change Team, Service Desk, assisting sister Team, QA other peoples packages (Quality checking) reporting back to Team Lead
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Working & training at the same time. It's like 'bid girl' learning. No class rooms, all on line, it's quiet & if you are self disciplined you will love it.
I am 46, just about to start year 2, I love it, Love it.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
This year will be more structured, year 1 was not so structured I had to find training to do, but this year it will be heavily structures & I can't wait to get going
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Limitless, I have a great work ethic. They have already said let us know if you need more time to do the apprenticeship. Support in my role is limitless as they want me to exceed all the time. My work ethic has made this happen, I am a worker I have all the support I need & more.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
So so much, he has always been there for me, just ask & he gets back to me in a timely manner, cannot fault the support I have received, again attitude & work ethic makes the difference along with a can do attitude.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Learning is a mindset, when you are in the learning mindset it allows you to learn more even if it is different to what your role requires. Learning to learn helps you learn various different ways, & subjects. Hard to explain, I will never know my role inside out as it has varied levels of ability
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
Yes, I did an event for a new induction of apprentices & got to share my experiences with them. I was praised for my input & for asking questions that perhaps the new apprentices didn't want to ask. Meals out, social events are all available

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
Be prepared to learn hard. Get in the right mind set. Have a good work ethic. Ask questions, don't be afraid to make mistakes & admit them (Making mistakes is one of the best ways to learn). If you have a problem speak out, Capgemini might be able to help.
You won't at the start, but believe in yourself & push yourself. Capgemini want you to be the best you can be, you will get support, you will have a mentor if you wish or 3, that's up to you.
17 Years this year working for Capgemini, if that's not a reason to join, I don't know what is.
