We wanted to let you know that we are beginning to accept applicants for our Consulting Foundations program & wanted to share the details to see if there were any students or alumni that might be interested in this full-time opportunity.

We have two cohorts that we’re looking to begin interviewing for: Winter 2022 & June 2022. The winter cohort is designed for applicants who have been working in industry between 2-5 years (alumni) and the June 2022 cohort is designed for graduating seniors. However, this fall is when we are planning to wrap up interviews for both cohorts, which is why we are spreading the word now.

For both cohorts, we are looking to hire into our software engineering (SE) and business advisory services (BAS) teams. Specifically for BAS, this is meant for those who are non-technical but looking to become a consultant and consult on non-technical projects.

For those who are interested in applying, we are asking you reach out to us at chstprogram@ewu.edu or nicole.gutierrez@slalom.com to let us know.
