Current graduates’ testimonials
Conrad Tutu
ServiceNow Developer
"My internship at DXC has been an interesting, fruitful and learning experience to say the least. In my opinion, the leadership and mentorship from DXC colleagues is one of the key reasons I am a Fulltime ServiceNow Developer that provides digital solutions to customers. I can’t wait to see what’s next for my career at DXC."
Winnie Mahladisa
ServiceNow Developer
"I was afforded a technology internship opportunity with DXC Technology that led to me becoming a member of the ServiceNow team. I was mentored, coached, trained and eventually certified in different disciplines of ServiceNow. The growth opportunity in DXC is unlimited as I am continuously learning more about ServiceNow, a platform I am intrigued about. The rapid learning process was supported by the many challenging projects I got involved in, which in-turn gave me hands-on experience. I am so grateful for the initial and subsequent opportunities that DXC has given me because I am a permanent employee and active contributor to the success of our customers."

SkillUp! is a programme which is designed to enable employees to gain externally recognised certifications. The SkillUp! portfolio contains over 300 industry-recognised certifications.
Early Careers Programme participants are able to take part from day one, and can apply for up to two certifications over the course of a financial year.
Graduates and apprentices are encouraged to discuss their short and long-term aspirations with their dedicated Early Careers manager, to establish which certifications will be best suited to their chosen path.
Employees who are accepted on to SkillUp! are given an upfront allowance to cover the cost of training materials such as ebooks, or online training courses.
Our employees are able to utilise DXC’s own university, Percipio. This useful, online tool contains over 700 learning channels and over 55,000 learning hours.
Employees can utilise these to either work towards a SkillUp! certification, or just as a standalone course, to enable them to have a greater understanding of their day-to-day work.
Guilds are communities of practitioners, who get together on a regular basis, to learn and share knowledge; help each other solve problems; and collaborate on innovative ideas that add value to DXC and our customers. Where there is a "critical mass" of people who can meet, we encourage the creation of local guilds. There are global guilds that help and support local guilds to connect with the wider community.
We have guilds that are set up for our graduates and apprentices specifically. It is a great way for them to network, collaborate on “hot topics” and learn. Some of the topics that have been covered in the past include moving out, maintaining a LinkedIn account, different faiths and blood donation.
