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

    • I have learnt numerous new skills whilst on the Capgemini course. When I joined, I took part in a 13 week accelerated learning course which is designed to bring you up to speed and ready to go out into the business, skills include technological ones such as Java or SQL Data warehousing and other soft skills. Whilst on a project - learn lots of new skills during first week but over time the learning slows down and not much is taught.
