HOW DOES IT WORK? 

When joining IGNITE, you choose a career path – a customized education and development program to build your skills in the field of your choice. It’s an aggregate of teacher-led training, certifications, and self-study from a wide range of educational materials that will boost your role as an associate consultant at Capgemini. You’ll also apply your learning and gain immediate experience on customer assignments at our biggest clients.
