• A tailored programme that provides you with the skills needed for a successful career in consultancy. This is delivered through a blend of formal classroom training, engaging induction sessions, and on the job learning opportunities. Over the 18-month programme, you’ll complete three rotations, working with different teams and on a variety of projects. This approach ensures you develop a wide-ranging consultancy skillset, build strong internal networks, and gain a comprehensive understanding of our business.
