CGI
About us
CGI was founded in 1976 by 26-year-old entrepreneurs Serge Godin and André Imbeau. The two started the company in the basement of Serge’s home with one client, one phone and a lot of ambition. By the end of their first year, CGI had generated C$138,000 in revenue. From that point on, CGI grew consistently year after year, whereby now C$138,000 of revenue is generated every few minutes by our dedicated global workforce. CGI now has over 69,000 employees working in 40 countries and is the 5th largest IT services company in the world.
Graduate opportunities
In an organisation that places collaboration and innovation at the heart of success, people are paramount. That’s why we’ve invested so heavily in our graduate programme; we want to create the future leaders of CGI.
Graduates here have a range of skills and work in a variety of roles. Some of these roles are highly technical; others are more business focused. We want you to find this programme both rigorous and challenging. But once it’s complete, you’ll be able to shape the future of our clients and your career.
Our graduates move into roles as diverse as Space and Defence to Bid Management, Cyber-Security to Project Management. The best thing about joining us is that while you may start in one of these areas, the opportunity to move internally is huge, so you can take control of your career from day 1. Our graduates have worked on top-secret national security projects, they have sent satellites to Mars, helped win multi-million pound projects and ensured that all our projects are planned and executed to the standards our clients have come to expect.
Location
We have offices across the UK in locations including; Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Bridgend, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Gloucester, Reading, Leatherhead and London.
A fantastic opportunity to meet some truly inspirational women in the technology sector!

IT's not just for the boys was once again my favourite event this academic year. It is amazing to be around so many inspiring females and young upcoming techies that are so passionate about the industry. The layout of the event is perfect, the skills session and team challenge really allowed me to see how they would work in a team and I got to see them in an environment that I wouldn't at any other event. The calibre of candidates is also very impressive. Getting all their details, CV's and whether they are interested is fantastic for me to follow up!

Extremely helpful and interesting. Has opened my eyes to more opportunities within the sector. The sky is the limit!
Student
An excellent day focusing on you and your strengths rather than you as a female student. I often forgot it was a female only event and left feeling empowered!

Isban attended INJFTB for the first time last year and were hugely impressed! We are not a well-known brand in our own right, this event gave us the opportunity to tell our story to an enthused female technical audience. ITNJFTB was a very successful source of interns & graduates, and we will be returning in 2018!

Thank you to all the TARGETjobs Events team as the whole event is really excellent. I have been to so many events in the tech space and for young women there really isn't anything like it.

I learned not all IT careers focus on programming, there are so many options out there which require the skills I have!

We loved hosting IT's not just for the boys! at Bloomberg again this year. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the top prospective engineers around the UK, and we truly benefit from having the opportunity to engage in such interactive sessions. The events are extremely well organised, and the students are very well prepared to network with sponsors and make the most of their experience. We look forward to continued partnership with TARGETjobs Events on their fantastic work in bringing more focus to women in technology!

This event showed me the sector is much more diverse than I originally thought, it is possible to reach the top regardless of gender!

This is the fourth year IBM have attended IT's not just for the boys! event and the reason we keep coming back is the event delivers fantastic candidates who have already been pre-selected for us. The students are always extremely engaged, technology focused and eager to find out more about our organisation. Each year we have received a great number of applications and offers from IT's not just for the boys! attendees
