Apprenticeships FAQs

No, we don’t accept speculative CVs.
 
To apply, you’ll need to create a profile, upload your CV, and complete our online application form. This is your chance to introduce yourself and tell us about your interests, experiences, and what inspired you to apply.

Yes, you can.
 
Upon applying, you will need to provide your predicted grades. We do need you to achieve the minimum grades required for the relevant programme. Failure to do this can result in an offer being retracted, in line with qualification guidelines set by our training providers.


You can only apply to one apprenticeship programme per recruitment season (September to August).
 
Choose the opportunity that interests you most. If we think your skills and strengths may be a better fit for a different programme during the recruitment process, we’ll discuss this with you.

The Higher Apprenticeship programme lasts 18 months in total. As well as working on the day to day delivery of Capgemini client projects, you will undertake work-based learning and classroom-based teaching; giving you a good foundation and entry point into your career in IT.

We offer a range of apprenticeship programmes, so the length of each programme can vary.
 
To find out how long a specific apprenticeship lasts, please check the job description, where you’ll find details of the programme duration and qualification you’ll be working towards.

Most of our apprenticeship programmes have one intake each year.
 
If the programme you’re interested in isn’t currently open, register your interest and we’ll let you know when applications become available. Please note that application closing dates can vary by role, so we recommend checking the job description for the most up-to-date details.

We offer a variety of apprenticeship opportunities at different qualification levels.
 
Make sure the programme matches your interests and that you meet the eligibility requirements before applying. Full details can be found in the job description. For more information about our apprenticeship programmes, click here to view our Apprentice brochure.

Any mitigating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the recruitment team and business unit involved.
 
When you complete the online application form, specify the mitigating circumstances in the box provided. Please note that Capgemini will consider only mitigating circumstances that have been submitted to your examining board and can be verified by Capgemini.

Our recruitment process includes Online Application, Digital Interview, and Assessment Centre stages.
 
Following the digital interview, successful candidates may be invited to join our Talent Pool, where they’ll continue to be considered for the role they’ve applied for.
 
We’ll keep you updated throughout your journey and let you know what to expect at each step. For more information, click here to visit our Recruitment Process page.

If I am unsuccessful, when can I reapply?
 
If you’re unsuccessful in your application, you’re welcome to apply again during the next recruitment season.
 
Our apprenticeship recruitment season runs from September to August, and candidates can submit one application per season.

Can I receive feedback on my performance at each stage of the application process?
 
We offer all candidates attending our assessment centres a feedback session via phone.
 
Because of the large volume of applications, we are unable to provide feedback if you are unsuccessful at the application or digital interview stages. We try to let you know the outcome of each stage as quickly as possible via email, so please check regularly for messages from our recruitment team.

What happens after I have accepted my verbal offer?
 
Your bullet format works well here. I’d just bold the action words:

Share your details – We’ll ask you to provide some personal information needed to create your contract.

Confirm your acceptance – You’ll need to confirm your provisional acceptance of the offer via email.

Receive your contract – Once your details have been received, we’ll create and send your contract for review and signature.

Sign your contract – After you’ve signed and returned your contract, your place is confirmed*.

Begin onboarding – Our Onboarding Team will then get in touch to guide you through the next steps, including any information or documents we need before your start date.

*Subject to meeting all eligibility requirements and pre-employment checks

Am I guaranteed a job at the end of the programme?
 
Yes. From day one, you’ll join Capgemini as a permanent employee.
 
Your apprenticeship is just the start of your journey with us, with plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and build your career beyond the programme.
 
Please note that your employment is subject to a probation period. For details, including the length and terms, please refer to your employment contract.

What help will you give me to get started on the programme?
 
We invest heavily in the development of all our apprentices.
 
Throughout your programme, you will be supported by our dedicated Programme Team, management network, and your peers in our well-established Apprentice community.

Do I get to go home during ALE?
We will fund two weekend trips home during this time, and you’re welcome to go home for more weekends if you would like to.

Will I always work in the office that is my base location?
 
Our apprentices typically experience a mix of office, client site and home working, giving you the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, build your network and develop your skills.
 
You’ll be based at your contracted location throughout your apprenticeship and will be expected to attend the office for a set number of days each week, in line with your programme requirements.
 
Regular time in the office is a great way to learn from experienced colleagues, build relationships and make the most of your early career development. Please check the job description for specific office attendance requirements.
