My induction was held in Reading. All flights and hotels were paid for and on my first day I received a brand new phone and laptop to use. There are so many training courses online within CGI but also so many available outwith CGI.

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Any issues then I have a lot of managers able to help and something always gets sorted out.

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

Not the best salary but not the worst I have seen either. If not living at home with parents it's hard to live on an apprentice salary. However CGI are good with expenses and you have a budget if you have to work away from home. Travel ie. flight are booked through the CGI system so there is no cost there usually.

6/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

We have internal comms go out for all events organised by CGI's "Nessie." CGI match our £5 each month for both free and subsidised event tickets which is great. I plan to attend a celidh in Jan.

9/10

9. Would you recommend CGI to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Best work experience I could have ever gotten at this stage in my life. So glad I did not do the marketing apprenticeship I originally intended.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CGI?

Lengthy On-boarding process but totally worth it! Very easy to apply through QA, who will support you no matter the apprenticeship you chose to go for.
