Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I work as a trainee finance professional in a cost accounting team within Capgemini. Day to day I work with the accountants to prepare reports and to support with forecasting.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my role and believe that people looking for a career in finance should look to join Capgemini as an apprentice.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I've learnt a great amount of knowledge of finance through my course and my experience in my role. I've also learnt a great amount of soft skills from communicating to my internal stakeholders within my team and the business.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
It is really well structure and Kaplan are a great tuition provider. Managers also support me really well with my studies.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Kaplan are a great tuition provider. Managers also support me really well with my studies.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Kaplan are a great tuition provider and they have their own support email which I use frequently to answer questions. They get back to me quickly too which helps when I have an exam coming up soon.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It really helps me since the knowledge relates really closely to my day role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There's a football team which I go to with Early and Emerging talent, there's another with finance too. There's also a monthly early and emerging talent day which is usually good. I feel like there could be a bit more things on though.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Capgemini to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Capgemini is a great place to work which fosters a great work experience and is really enjoyable to work at. The company is really supportive of you which makes work and studying far less stressful. If you don't feel this way then there's always someone here to make that change.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
Make sure you know everything about the company. I can't stress this enough. I've got several friends who I've recommended to Capgemini and the ones who succeeded are the ones who revised the company like they had an exam on it! Learn about the core values, the main contracts, the roles available and why you want to work for the company. You could also learn about the numerous awards that the company has been given.
