ANALYST ONBOARDING & DEVELOPMENT

SCG is currently partnered with Ernst & Young (EY). As a part of the onboarding process, new analysts will engage in numerous faculty and EY-led workshops to enhance their consulting expertise and work on benchmarking analysis for the remainder of the semester. After establishing a foundation of management consulting knowledge and understanding SCG's inner operations, new members join the ranks as consultants and tackle client projects in the upcoming term. Analysts typically stay for five or more semesters, gaining extensive experience throughout their time in the organization.
