Joining as a graduate

You’ll start your journey with us on an inclusive and engaging induction, which builds the mindset, knowledge, skills and behaviours required by our Consulting business today and into the future.

Our Consulting induction course will help you build your confidence through a number of team and individual activities designed to help you recognise the importance of your existing skills and also a chance to step out of your comfort zone in an environment where we encourage bold thinking. You’ll be part of a cohort which will be the foundation of your network and community as you support each other, learn, share experiences and work together to make an impact. You’ll be encouraged to make the most of opportunities to grow a broad network; be this through meeting our leaders, mentorship or engaging with the wider community of c.500 Associates and 2500 experienced consultants across the business.

After the induction, your experience will vary from working with clients on a variety of roles, carrying out strategic internal projects, supporting teams to win work through business development, developing thought leadership, proposition and asset development to secondments across the network.

You’ll be continually developing your skills and industry knowledge and be able to deepen your understanding of Consulting in the wider business context through our learning and development framework. We’ll work with you to track your development so you know how you're doing and where you can improve. At this early stage in your career you’ll have access to inspirational leaders and this, coupled with the quality of the training you'll receive, means you'll become a recognised expert in the profession.
