While many of my peers were focused on following the conventional path to university, I found myself at a crossroads, unsure of what I truly wanted to do. My A-Levels choices of Biology, Math and Sport reflected my diverse interests \u2013 a very random combination, I know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until I did some independent research that I stumbled upon degree apprenticeships. The concept of earning while learning, gaining hands-on experience while pursuing a degree, intrigued me. I\u2019ve always been fascinated by computers and technology, so the idea of having the chance to combine my passion with education felt like the perfect plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how I discovered the degree apprenticeship program at Capgemini. I embarked on this journey in September 2023 and I am currently pursuing a degree in Digital and Technology Solutions with Sheffield Hallam University. Stepping into the workplace straight after finishing my A-Levels seemed very daunting at first, but the support I received at Capgemini made all the difference. The support from my mentors and colleagues has been fantastic, guiding me both through the simplest of things like writing a profession email to more complex tasks and projects that have helped me grow in my role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One highlight has been joining the Insights &amp; Data Women\u2019s Network. This group has boosted my confidence and helped me connect with inspiring women, making me feel more confident in my ideas and myself. Looking back on my first year, I\u2019m grateful for the opportunities and experiences. Balancing work and studies is challenging, but it\u2019s a journey I\u2019m proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling unsure about traditional pathways, remember that the journey to success can look different for everyone. Sometimes, taking a different path can lead to more rewarding experiences!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-wrapper-people-slider section section--expert-slider wrapper-people-slider undefined\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"content-title\"><h2 data-maxlength=\"34\" class=\"people-heading-title\">Author<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slider slider-boxed\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"slider-window\"><div class=\"slider-list\">\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-4 box-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Gurleen-Kaur-v1.png\" alt=\"Gurleen Kaur\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 col-lg-8 box-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row title-social-media-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 mbl-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 box-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"people-profile-title\">Gurleen Kaur<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Digital and Technology Degree Apprentice<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 col-lg-6 social-box-container dkt-social-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-nav\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal\" id=\"WPB734b7be3_7ee7_4acd_9a54_69a053fa33f0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg modal-dialog-scrollable landing-page-modals\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"btn-close\" aria-label=\"close\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\"><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"logo-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/wp-content\/themes\/capgemini2025\/assets\/images\/logo.svg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Contact with us\" class=\"light\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/gb-en\/wp-content\/themes\/capgemini2025\/assets\/images\/logo-white.svg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Contact with us\" class=\"dark\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"form-title\">Contact with us<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mf_forms__container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form id=\"mf_form_344241_2187315524\" class=\"mf_form__form row needs-validation\" action=\"\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" data-nosnippet>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_id\" data-validate=\"number\" class=\"mf_form__id\" value=\"344241\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"form_title\" class=\"mf_form__title\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"wp_rest_nonce\" class=\"mf_form__wp_rest_nonce\" value=\"2faffd6fd7\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mf_form_conditional_logic\" class=\"mf_form__title conditional_logic\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mf_form_fields_country_dpo_field\" class=\"mf_form__title conditional_logic mf_form_fields_country_dpo_field\" value=\"\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Anti-spam field -->\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" \n\t\t\t\t\tname=\"website_url\" \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"mf_field__url\" \n\t\t\t\t\tautocomplete=\"off\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttabindex=\"-1\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"position:absolute;left:-9999px;width:1px;height:1px;opacity:0;pointer-events:none;\" \n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/form>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mf_form__success\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"alert\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Thank You!
