  • You’ll have a full-time permanent role from day one, and a competitive starting annual salary
  • You’ll study part-time for your degree through Aston University – whilst being able to put your new skills into practice in your day to day role
  • You’ll be in a supportive environment, with flexibility such as study leave to help you out
  • Did we mention it’s 100% free? We’re sponsoring all of the costs of your degree – You’ll get the best of both worlds – with all the benefits of a job with a prestigious company and those of being a student at one of the best universities in the UK.
  • You will study for a BSc Honours degree in Leadership and Business Management, attaining Chartered Management status within the Chartered Management Institute. This, whilst applying what you are learning and making an impact in one of our exciting roles.

What’s the catch you ask? Well actually there isn’t one… you don’t need to be experienced, but we do ask that you’re as passionate as we are about the ways tech and business solutions can be applied in the real world.

You will need to be flexible and able to travel to different offices and client sites after your first 3 months. During the first 9 weeks you will experience an induction and training programme in a residential environment with Week 1 based at our Telford offices and then Weeks 2-9 on campus at Aston University.

We have two role families we’re recruiting for: Project Management Office Analysts and Technology Project Consultants.

Company

We often describe Capgemini as “a global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing services”. What this means is that we help companies and public sector organisations improve their businesses through smart, appropriate use of technology systems.

We can advise our clients on how to do this (the “consulting” part of our description), and if required implement and improve the actual systems (the “technology” part). We can also manage and run clients’ IT systems on their behalf (the “outsourcing” part). We always look for ways to improve their experience and save them money, for example

by putting some of their systems in the cloud or collaborating with colleagues in other countries.

We work in over 40 countries, and have more than 180,000 employees. Many of our clients are names you’ll recognise, from UK Government departments to Manchester Airports Group and Nationwide Building Society.
