Junior Engagement Manager Review

Running daily stand ups with a team to manage project progress. Pre-implementation activities for my project before it goes live. Resolving blockers and issues on the project. Calls with the client to feedback on project progress. Impacting new work coming into the contract.

Learnt so much about project management, client management, and time management between my day to day work and my university degree.

It’s very difficult to excel in a work environment and education at the same time. However, the community makes it slightly easier. Having contacts who can assist you regarding university and who also are in the same situation with work is very beneficial.

It’s very well organised, have university webinars every other week per module and 2 on campus days per term, allows me to keep uni as separate from work as I would like.

Capgemini are very supportive, there is a massive community for apprentices and graduates. We have engagement days within the community where there is a networking lunch, and educational sessions from leaders within Capgemini.

It depends on the skills coach in which you receive, some are motivated and happy to help, others are not as supportive. The support and documentation isn’t standardised which leads to some apprentices feeling like they will struggle passing their apprenticeship qualification.

The modules are relevant to my role.

They offer a wide variety of volunteering opportunities, one of which I am involved in is Lego League. Where I mentor in a local primary school to help develop the children’s STEM skills through Lego builds including motors. The children can code the motor to move, light up, etc.

Yes

Because of the the opportunities… communities you can be a part of are endless and if that community doesn’t already exist then you are encouraged to create it. The people are what make Capgemini in my opinion.

Be yourself, express your personality because skills can taught.
