Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

My responsibilities are based around delivering applications management services whilst adhering to the contract/ service level agreement with the client. My job is similar to a project manager's role.

Every day looks different for me, I am in and out of meetings with different stakeholders discussing how we can improve the service, the risk and issues associated with the service and how to mitigate etc. I work with an offshore team in India and so am in contact with them daily to complete reports on how the service is going/any breaches to the contract. It's a really great role with multiple responsibilities. I get to work with a variety of people including security architects, software engineers and IT environments testers.

After studying Bioengineering, I wasn't sure where to go and decided on becoming a teacher. I chose to become a secondary science teacher and utilise the knowledge I acquired during my degree. I was a Science teacher for 1.5 years and particularly enjoyed the practical lessons.

During my teacher training, I had the opportunity to take part in a placement at a Special Needs school and loved it. I decided to switch to Special Needs after 1.5 years in mainstream teaching. I learnt very quickly that SEN schools were entirely different to mainstream schools but acclimatized nonetheless. I had a class of high functioning boys and I really enjoyed teaching them - to me, it felt much more rewarding than teaching in mainstream schools.

I learnt many skills whilst I was a teacher that were incredibly useful for when I made the transition into the technology sector. These skills were very transferrable and included: complex problem solving, critical thinking, being able to explain a variety of topics simply, decision making, management, monitoring and other soft skills.

I now work for Capgemini, a global technology consulting company.

I plan to develop my career in service delivery management, in the hopes of one day becoming an engagement director.
