Consulting Boot Camp

The GBCC hosts an annual, week-long, after-hours virtual training course for graduate students interested in strategy consulting. This Consulting Boot Camp is a popular, application-based program open to students and postdocs from across the country.

Professionals from several consulting firms help lead our interactive workshop sessions. Our workshops lay the foundations of the skills you need to land that coveted consulting job. You will get to know the many types of consulting career pathways, learn about relevant on-campus resources and events, and have a chance to refine your own career plans.
