What’s in it for me?

Graduate Program: Technology

An open sky for graduates to fly in…..

As a graduate from university starts to look for the best fit in tough economic times, the very first question one asks oneself when looking at the potential job market is “How is one company different from the others?” It is the only question that, if answered correctly, determines your path.

Before joining Capgemini as a graduate, I often used to wonder what Capgemini offers that no other organisation does and then I realised that the answer to this question was very simple: Capgemini opens up an ocean of opportunities for graduates.

On my first day at Capgemini I still was not sure of what exactly I would be doing over the following weeks, but at the end of my one week induction, I was informed that I was going to be working in an accelerated delivery centre, Capgemini’s heart of technology advancements. I was amazed when I first came to see what my project area looked like!!!  Sofas, relaxing arm chairs, white boards, a few flat screens and what more, a playing area filled with soft toys. I have got to admit that not all project areas look the same, so don’t be surprised, but that exactly is my point.

Most organisations describe their graduate schemes as varied but at Capgemini, one can easily see the difference. No two days at work are the same. One day you might be troubleshooting an existing problem, whereas the next you could be inventing future technology.

At Capgemini, I seem to have discovered a totally different world of opportunities. I joined the business technology consultancy programme a few months ago realising that it offered a rich combination of both technology and consulting. Graduates here at Capgemini get to work with the latest technology such as cloud computing, web 2.0, virtual desktop integration and many more!

In one word my decision to join Capgemini’s graduate scheme can be described as one of the “BEST” decisions I have ever made in my life so far.
