Bain & Company Do any of the MBB ( McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company ) run leadership programs for new undergrad and MBA students? My son was only able to find for OW and Big4...

Thanks for telling us what each of the MBB firms are

Lols, I outlined them for tagging purposes, but I can see how it must've come off. 😭

The direct answer to your question is no. But that's because the talent model is different.
MBB do hire undergrad and MBA students for summer internship programs and also for full time roles after graduation.
It's not similar to leadership programs you see in the industry, where you hire "high potential" folks in the program and make them rotate in different departments / regions, while also hiring for regular roles in parallel.
In consulting, a large part of the hiring is in the core consulting team. Recruiting process is very competitive and everyone is considered "high potential". The career is accelerated for all. People are expected to get promoted from time to time, if they don't, they get fired (called "up or out model"). If they stick, they end up in leadership roles relatively early in the career.
To recruit for MBB, he can apply in the website, but those companies also do a lot of on campus recruiting. So, his school may be able to help and guide him through the process.
I hope that helps clarify your doubt.
PS: all I said is about the core consulting roles. I'm not familiar with how the non-core recruiting works.

This is a great answer. A small caveat - once you are in MBB on the core consulting track you can apply for LDP-like 6-12 month rotations as long as you’re in top standing. BCG has global ambassador (international rotations) and CEO ambassador (internal chief of staff like work) among others.

Who cares about MBB when the goldmine is KKR

Adopt me 🥹 I also have PE/CDD experience

In all seriousness , I would start with a summer internship to get a feel of consulting

IMO , PE is definitely a better career start than Consulting (better overall picture and better to do it when you are younger to optimise for WLB

Selfishly, can I DM you looking at exit opps in PE? TMT expert and I know KKR invests heavily in the sector

What is a leadership program supposed to be? Assuming you mean pre-internship?

There are programs similar to this at MBB but only for black students, latino students, and in some cases all women.

OP, if I were you, I’d hire MBB consultants to do a DD for you, build a relationship with them and pass your son’s resume to them.

I don’t think you should focus there’s anything similar at BCG. However I know that most of the MBBs have lots of different internship programs and even leadership programs (however you can apply for them after joining full-time). I would highly suggest to do his best to join MBB instead of Tier 2 (I made that switch) as the experience and available resources is uncomparable. Leadership program or not I think MBB is the way (for consulting). Hope that helps

I don’t know what a leadership program means, but we have internships from freshman year… nothing better that applying and getting in for freshman or sophomore year. They get to test another industry as raising senior already having a McK offer

Also - which school, that is important

I don't know if anything officially at Bain for this. However, sometimes people can play fast and loose with the rules if you have a partner friend or two 😌

Best of luck!
