We Have Lift Off!!!

As I am sat on the morning commute from London to Sheffield, it feels like quite an appropriate place to start this journey - welcome to the CDC Blog!!!

Over the coming weeks, months, years (!?!) … we will be writing the CDC Blog to help share our experiences with you to provide a firsthand insight to life at Capgemini, the challenge of recruitment and working in the CDC, UK and abroad.

One of the main themes of our blog will be to talk about all of the extra-curricular activities that life in the CDC can provide you with. A team of 8 CDCers will share their experiences of stream work … what’s that I hear you cry? CDC stream work provides a special place to learn the ropes of being a consultant. After 15 months on the grad scheme, I have been resourced onto some very high profile projects that provide challenges of learning content quickly, dealing with demanding clients and adapting messages in both the private and public sector, but it is in stream work where I have been exposed to some of the most interesting challenges. The CDC streams are designed to allow CDCers to run teams and projects, create existing deliverables, shape the look and feel of the CDC and overall learn and develop to become a great consultant, outside of the client project.

We will also be providing you with a detailed insight into the journey of two CDCers, which coincidentally have gone from studying in the UK to working in China before coming back to London to join the rat race.

Anyway, as I am sat here writing this whilst also pondering on how to raise sponsorship for the Capgemini charity event I am competing in later in June and trying to prioritise our current project risks and issues before a workshop this morning, the joyful sight of Sheffield approaches on the horizon. Until next time …
