Progression

Support and accelerate progression through apprenticeship grades and salary levels

Capgemini has developed a 5-year pay and progression model, which is designed to support and accelerate progression through apprenticeship grades and salary levels. The organisation offers apprenticeships in areas including digital technology solutions, chartered management, cybersecurity and software development – with 124 degree apprenticeships completed to date.

Although the apprenticeships are open to all, two-thirds of those starting on the programme in 2019 had attended a non-selective state school and 44% were the first generation to attend university in their family. Apprentices gain recognition for their commitment and performance, with 68% achieving promotion to the next grade in 2018; during the 4.5-year degree apprenticeship, the average number of promotions is four.

Join us on 21 April for the launch event on our upcoming research paper: ‘Navigating the labyrinth’ – a comprehensive study on how socio-economic background shapes career #progression within the Civil Service, with key learnings for employers. Sign up to attend here ➡ https://lnkd.in/dUJ46Yr

Led by our Commissioner, Sam Freidman, the report sparks discussion about the unwritten rules to progression. It’s an example of the UK Civil Service taking the lead on #SocialMobility; acknowledging what more needs to be done and showing others how they can follow suit.

At the #LaunchEvent we’ll discuss the findings of the report and what it means for social mobility.

The event will be chaired by Sandra M Wallace, interim Co-Chair, Social Mobility Commission. Joining her on the #panel is:

• Professor Sam Freidman, Social Mobility Commission
• Nik Miller, Bridge Group
• Louise Ashley, Royal Holloway, University of London
• Dr Dave O’Brien, The University of Edinburgh
• Bernadette Kelly, Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and Social Mobility Champion in the Civil Service
• Alex Thomas, Institute for Government

See you there!
