Yes

9b. Why?

Since joining Capgemini in 2012, I've never looked back. I've been to university in the past and getting into debt for a degree with no experience is not worth it. With Capgemini you get the opportunity to work for a massively well recognised firm and not only study a degree, but to receive the relevant experience needed.
