Management Consulting Essentials: Think Like a Consultant

The course was designed to address a significant concern among students nearing the end of their university experience: the uncertainty they face regarding their future careers, particularly in the field of management consulting. The course aims to show participants what management consulting is and, mainly, what the daily life of consultants is like, what they do, what kind of sectors and companies they work with, what challenges and
problems they address and how they do it.

The sessions will primarily focus on practical experiences, allowing participants to take on the role of a consultant at the start of their careers. This approach integrates the learning of concepts, methodologies, and tools with their immediate application to real work. Besides the main work, the course also includes a series of debates, group activities, exercises, and presentations to facilitate constant interaction among participants.

The course aims to provide information and tips on the typical recruitment process of consulting companies, allowing participants interested in pursuing this career to prepare adequately for these interactions.
