Returnships at Capgemini

This is why, after a pilot in 2017, we launched our [email protected] programme in 2018, offering structure and support to bring talented professionals into our organisation.

The [email protected] Programme offers a paid placement of six months with the possibility of a permanent role at the end of the programme. We target talented people that have been on a career break for two or more years.

As the first of its kind in the accelerating technology sector, we provide a wraparound of support:

• Meaningful experience - Paid six months placements with a potential permanent role at the end
• Access to a community - Access to a community of other returners in the same situation
• Access to coaching - Professional coaching provided by Women Returners
• Professional development - A development programme tailored to a technology specialism
