Careers in Consulting is a series designed to introduce graduate students and postdocs from all disciplines to the world of consulting. Learn how consultants apply analytical, research and problem-solving skills to tackle complex challenges across industries such as healthcare, technology, energy, sustainability, public sector and social impact.
Through consultant-led panel discussions, employer site visits and interactive case-based experiences, you’ll gain insider perspectives on what consultants do on a daily basis, how advanced degree holders thrive in consulting roles, and how to navigate the recruiting process with confidence. These opportunities will connect you with consultants and alumni who have successfully made the transition from academia to consulting.
We’re continuing to add consulting partners, site visits and events—check back often for new opportunities to explore and prepare for a career in consulting.
