\u201cBeing able to work with Canadian clients who are market leaders is an incredibly valuable experience that I don\u2019t take for granted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

Capgemini Canada invited employees to apply for a team spot in the inaugural Capgemini International Rugby Cup (IRC) in fall 2023. A country-wide vote selected the eight employees who would join nine other teams consisting of 14 nationalities in Paris to compete in a friendly rugby match.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My rugby journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why I got involved in Capgemini\u2019s Rugby Cup<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There was a cool opportunity to volunteer with the HSBC Rugby Sevens Series in Vancouver. I thought it would be a unique chance to meet other Vancouver employees, even though I had no knowledge of rugby. I was so excited that the rugby experience was continuing with the opportunity to go to Paris. In high school, I dove into any sport that was available to me, even if I had zero knowledge about it. Having had that courage to try a new sport helped in this environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it was like representing Canada at this tournament<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It was so exhilarating. We won our first game, which was very impressive for a team that had never practiced together. For me scoring a \u201ctry\u201d was exciting too \u2013 I ran half the pitch to get to the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My most memorable moment from the Rugby Cup<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It was definitely the first evening \u2013 going on a riverboat cruise, having a Michelin Star meal, and hearing from our CEO, Aiman Ezzat, who inspired us regarding rugby and the strong place it holds in Capgemini\u2019s spirit. To be on the Seine River and see the Eiffel Tower was such a Parisian experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Capgemini journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My role at Capgemini<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since I joined Capgemini as a campus hire in Vancouver, I\u2019ve worked on a strategic delivery project for a large mining company. My role has involved supporting the team through the implementation of key data-governance strategies, frameworks, and policies. I helped set the client up with good data-governance practices by understanding their objectives and gaps, and helped them reach their goals in effective and meaningful ways along their data-driven journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Capgemini has empowered me to master my skills<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Capgemini does an amazing job at providing tools, resources, mentors, and access to the platforms necessary to grow professional skills. They encourage us regularly to partake in courses. It\u2019s also comforting to know that when we come up against a challenge we may not have encountered before, we can reach out to experts in the company and get the advice we need to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other activities I\u2019m involved in<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With my background in environmental sustainability, I sought out a connection with other people who share a passion for making a positive impact \u2013 both within Capgemini and outside of it. I got involved in the OCEAN ERG (Organized Carbon and Environmental Action Network), and having that community has been really important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My advice to new team members<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions! Everyone has been welcoming, and willing to help. Everyone is here to grow and learn from one another. Trust those around you and we will all drive forward together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I\u2019m working toward getting the future I want<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been able to map out the short-term goals that will help me reach my long-term goals. Together with my people manager and team, I\u2019m continuously reviewing my progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about working at Capgemini<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The people are the best thing. It\u2019s a really wide-ranging and far-reaching network. Being able to work with Canadian clients who are market leaders is an incredibly valuable experience that I don\u2019t take for granted. It\u2019s so amazing to see such a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is supported to succeed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":657399,"template":"","meta":{"cg_dt_proposed_to":[],"cg_seo_hreflang_relations":"[]","cg_seo_canonical_relation":"","cg_seo_hreflang_x_default_relation":"{\"uuid\":\"ad7ed888-3cf6-4145-9e52-fc3371277ca4\",\"blogId\":\"\",\"domain\":\"\",\"sitePath\":\"\",\"postLink\":\"\",\"postId\":null,\"isSaved\":true,\"isCrossLink\":false,\"hasCrossLink\":false}","cg_dt_approved_content":true,"cg_dt_mandatory_content":false,"cg_dt_notes":"","cg_dg_source_changed":false,"cg_dt_link_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","cg_testimonial_custom_title":"","people_tel":"","people_email":"","featured_focal_points":""},"tags":[],"brand":[458],"country":[396],"grade":[249],"job_family":[327],"class_list":["post-657398","employee-testimonial","type-employee-testimonial","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","brand-capgemini","country-canada","grade-students-and-graduates","job_family-data-and-ai"],"yoast_head":"\nMichelle -
