Building Entrepreneurial Leaders (BEL)

Building Entrepreneurial Leaders (BEL)

We welcome second-year (sophomore) students in a four-year program who have Black, Hispanic/Latin American, or Indigenous heritage for a weeklong program working as an associate consultant. You’ll join us in-person at one of our US or Canada offices in early summer, analyze a real client situation, and present your findings to leadership.

Try out consulting to see if this career is for you

We founded the BEL program in 2009 to help students like yourself explore a career in management consulting. You’ll get trained like one of our associate consultants and be staffed on a case team where you’ll analyze a piece of the project and share your analysis. It’s an opportunity to sharpen your business acumen and see what you could gain from a career at Bain.
