McKinsey Leadership Academy 2016

As a sixth-form student, you’re facing big choices. What career should I choose? Which university? Which course? Should I take a gap year? Should I go straight into the job market?

Whatever your plans, we would like to help. Our Leadership Academy 2014 is a chance to have fun, meet other students from the UK and Ireland, learn about leadership and develop practical work skills. You’ll also learn about management consulting as a possible career option.

Leadership is vital in every walk of life. It’s about having the drive and intellectual curiosity to tackle tough challenges, plus the ability to help other people do their best. By developing your leadership skills, you open up opportunities for the future.

We’re looking for students with an excellent track record of academic and other achievements who can demonstrate:

The first event is a two-day launch residential workshop on 10-11 July 2015, to be held at Wellington College in Berkshire. If you are a student based in the UK or Ireland, McKinsey will take care of your travel, accommodation and food costs

After taking part in the workshop, you’ll become a part of the wider McKinsey network. In the summer of 2016 we’ll hold a two-day graduate residential where you can share progress with fellow students from the workshop. You’ll also have the chance to enter a competition for a McKinsey leadership award. Over the next few years we’ll stay in touch to update you on events and opportunities.

Are you ready to formally apply? Do you have the support of a teacher/tutor at your school already? Visit the McKinsey & Company website and follow the instructions to submit your application.
