Event description
On Tuesday, August 4th at 7pm ET, we invite eligible transitioning military service members from all services, backgrounds, and specialties to learn more about the McKinsey Military Fellowship (SkillBridge) and hear from McKinsey veteran leaders. We will discuss the application process, eligibility, and the type of experience you can expect to have working as a McKinsey consultant.
What to expect
We invite you to learn about our McKinsey Military Fellow (SkillBridge) Program! At McKinsey, we recognize the value of hard-earned military skills and perspectives. We also understand transitioning into the civilian workforce can seem a daunting challenge, for even the most distinctive military professional.
Come join our 700+ strong Veterans@McKinsey community for a 10-week apprenticeship-based fellowship (partnership with DoD SkillBridge) where you will help solve our clients’ most pressing challenges. You will work collaboratively with our global network of colleagues and experts, while learning in a supportive, fast-paced environment.
As a SkillBridge member, you will work on actual client engagements while you develop and hone your business problem-solving and communications toolkits. Coaching and mentorship will play an integral part of your program.
McKinsey has a vibrant veteran community with over 700 members all over the world. We are a diverse and strong community dedicated to supporting each other and our colleagues and clients. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
Program Eligibility: We are looking for active duty service members who are U.S. citizens and hold at least one of these qualifications:
- Have planned EAS dates between May and August 2027
- Bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, or MBA degree
- Thrive in collaborative, team-based environments
- Enjoy problem-solving and creative thinking
