Use data to advise a global retailer on how to increase the diversity of their supplier base as part of BCG’s Social Impact team

Welcome to BCG’s job simulation! We’re so excited to have you here with us!

So what exactly is a job simulation? It is the perfect opportunity to take on practical tasks similar to those our very own BCGers would work on and get a true feel of what it is like to work at BCG as a strategy consultant, technology consultant, and designer, which will give you a deeper understanding of what BCG does and help set you up for success when you decide to apply with us.

BCG partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. Our diverse, global teams bring deep industry and functional expertise and a range of perspectives to spark impactful change through leading-edge management consulting as well as data science, technology and design, digital ventures, and business purpose. We work in a uniquely collaborative model across the firm and throughout all levels of the client organization to deliver results that help our clients thrive.

In this job simulation, you will gain enviable insight into what it’s like to solve meaningful social impact challenges. What’s great about our job simulation is its flexibility. You’ll get to choose the module or modules that you would like to take and complete the tasks anywhere and anytime in the world, allowing you to upskill yourself in your own time and at your own pace.

After finishing each module, you’ll be provided with real work sample answers from our leaders, and you can see how top-tier consultants and designers would have tackled each task so that you can learn from their approach.

This program is self-paced. It takes approximately 3-4 hours to complete.
