7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

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.

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.
