From Beacon to top consulting firms like McKinsey and Booz Allen:
“Beacon...gave me the chance to work with a startup and provide real value...With the skills I developed through this experience and having thoroughly enjoyed the work, I went through the recruiting process and will be interning for a top consulting firm next summer.”
“[Beacon] gave me really valuable experience to add to my resume...and helped get me in the door to McKinsey...I have just accepted an internship offer with McKinsey & Company for the summer. I am so excited for this opportunity and am very grateful that Beacon gave me the gateway to this field!”
“I’ll be interning with Booz Allen Hamilton this summer in their San Diego office! I’m super excited. Honestly [Beacon] was the big reason I started seriously considering the firm. Thanks so much for your help and mentorship! I’m glad so much good has come from doing the Beacon Fellowship.”
Spend four weeks abroad gaining impactful consulting experience at international client sites.
Conventional summer consulting internships are designed to boost the company’s bottom line, but often, interns leave with the feeling that they actually have not learned or made a difference. Beacon is designed to provide Fellows with a rewarding and challenging summer by engaging them directly in impactful consulting projects with international firms. Each cohort of Fellows is guided and accompanied by a Project Lead, a consultant who has worked for a top agency like McKinsey, Bain or BCG.
