Strategy Course
July 6 2012 (apply before June 27th)
During this day you will intensively get to know the work of a strategy consultant at OC&C. We will start with a presentation about OC&C by one of our partners followed by an introduction from the client, a candy manufacturer who is an international market leader position in the Dutch and wants to improve his position. In the afternoon you will prepare an advice for the client. Under the guidance of consultants you structure the questions, formulate your hypotheses and test them with your fact-based analysis. The challenge is great; at the end of the day the client expects a presentation of your advice. We will end the day with drinks and dinner.
Apply: send your motivation, CV and academic results in both high school and University to recruitment@occstrategy.nl.

Successful applicants will be invited to join our team for a week to gain first-hand experience of the work of a strategy consultant. Our Summer School will offer a combination of learning on the job and classroom training courses in relevant skills, facilitated by OC&C consultants. In the evenings, we’ll socialise over drinks and dinner, allowing you to get to know our team personally. On the final day of the Summer School, applicants will give a presentation about their project and how they have experienced their ‘week in the life of a strategy consultant’.
