WHAT YOU'LL DO

• You'll work in teams of typically 3 - 5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.
• This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations.
• You'll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members. 
• Associate Interns receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. This support includes a Partner from your local office or practice assigned to you to help guide your career as well as formal training in your first few weeks as an intern.
• Additionally, you'll receive guidance and support from your local office or practice in the selection of client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network.
• While all consultants develop specialized knowledge and a focused program as they progress with McKinsey, most are initially very broad in their focus, meaning they do not need specific industry or functional expertise to be successful.
• For consultants who join McKinsey as experienced professionals, this can mean building on previous knowledge or developing unique experience in an area that is completely new.
