Connecting and Resourcing Empowered Women (CREW)
Connecting and Resourcing Empowered Women (CREW)
We welcome ambitious people who identify as women in their sophomore (second) year of undergraduate studies in the US and Canada to join us in one of our offices. You’ll participate in workshops, panels, and breakouts designed to help you build your skills and connect with other future leaders. Though this program tends to be highly selective, there’s no harm in applying. Please don’t discount your experience. We think you’d be great.
Learn from women leaders at a top firm
Women are historically underrepresented at strategy consulting firms and we know it. This program is part of our decades-long effort to overturn that. Come hear from some of the most powerful women leaders in this field about how they’ve thrived here, get a feel for working as a consultant, and build your business toolkit. Following the program, you will have an opportunity to interview for an associate consultant intern position in the US or Canada.
