ABOUT THE CAPGEMINI UK APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME

Capgemini’s Apprentice Programmes – Advanced and Higher – are designed to help Capgemini attract the brightest and best from the local community; offering work experience and practical qualifications to young people, and bringing their insights and energy to our business.

Capgemini UK’s Advanced Apprentice programme was launched in 2004. Since then, over 200 young people have completed a 12-month scheme. The apprentices study for ICT and Business Administration qualifications.

In 2011, Capgemini UK launched a Higher Apprentice degree programme that saw 30 apprentices start a five-year programme of work experience and study to attain a BSc in Computing and IT Practice. It enables young people to train and gain qualifications with their fees being paid for them. The scheme also helps Capgemini UK develop its next generation of software engineers.

Higher Apprentice Sponsored Degree Programme

Apprentices on this programme will study for a BSc in Computing and IT Practice as well as a Level 4 Diploma in Professional Competence, while gaining valuable work experience and avoiding student debt. If you are looking for an alternative, accelerated path into the IT industry you may have found your answer with Capgemini.

Through this five year study and work programme you will receive ongoing support, developing skills and capabilities in many areas such as programming and software, including; C# .net; Drupal/PHP; Microsoft and Java. Working with Cloud Computing and Software as a Service, you will develop a thorough grounding in software engineering. This will enable you to join project teams in the Capgemini Application Services business early on in the programme. This will entail working and contributing to client projects, developing on the job experience and understanding.

You will receive support and guidance, through your study and work, from mentors and buddies. You will be given learning and development options at every opportunity and receive regular reviews, tracking performance and re-assessing salary in line with performance.

• Substantive work experience • A salary at the end of the five years equal to that of a graduate entrant • No student loan or tuition fee debts

We have positions available across the UK and start dates from March 2013 onwards. However, you will need to be flexible and able to travel to different offices and client sites after your first three months. And, as a global business, Capgemini can offer you unparalleled career opportunities once you have completed this programme.

To be considered for the Higher Apprentice Sponsored Degree Programme you will need:

• A minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including Maths and English

• To have or expect, three 'A' levels, grades C or above, or their equivalent (e.g. a National BTEC with at least one Distinction). These are likely to include an IT related subject (including maths and science) OR completion of a full IT related Advanced Apprenticeship which includes work experience

• A demonstrable passion and capability in software development: you might for example have designed a website or a game. You should also have a high analytical capability.

• With good oral, written and interpersonal skills, you should be self motivated and work well in a team environment.

Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a short telephone interview then, if successful, invited to an assessment centre consisting of a competency based interview, a group exercise and some short aptitude tests.

Successful candidates can expect to start from end of March 2012 onwards.

Your career is ultimately in your hands.
