1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I am currently working under the Cloud group, where my responsibilities involve authoring documents and developing and reviewing technical cloud solutions. I will also be providing technical support to our clients, although my role is not predominantly client-facing.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

During the first 3 months of this apprenticeship, I was placed in an Accelerated Learning Environment. These were classroom sessions with other apprentices, where we were bought up to speed on database, programming, web development and networking technologies. While we all studied very similar material, a lot of the topics covered depended on the role we planned on going into.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

The study material from QA was somewhat inadequate. However, we always had the support of top trainers who bought valuable real-life experience to the lessons in the classroom

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

Our program managers always took an interest in us as people, not just as employees. I felt I could approach them for any work-related/personal-life issues during my time here.

Yes

9b. Why?

Because I feel this program will not only develop my career in IT and business, but also develop me as a person since I'm always meeting new people from all sorts of backgrounds.

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

Speak to as many people as you can, make friends and make enemies but never lose sight of what you really want from the course.
