Our Goal: To Help NU Students Understand Career Launch Points in Consulting, Investment Banking, Finance, Private Equity and Entrepreneurship.
Companies are making hiring decisions for key summer internship roles earlier than ever before, especially in competitive fields like banking, finance and consulting. Sophomore year has become a critical time for students to gain knowledge of these industries and exposure to their recruiting practices, as interviews for many opportunities take place in the fall term of their junior year, and some earlier. The Business Boot Camp, in collaboration with the Harvey Kapnick Center for Business Institutions and Northwestern Career Advancement, is a program designed to accelerate student learning about the practical business world and strengthen student preparedness.
- Understand Different Career Paths – gain exposure to roles in consulting, banking, entrepreneurship, and finance through real-world case studies
- Develop Practical Business Skills – learn the fundamentals of accounting, finance and strategy through a series of alumni led videos and exercises
- Network with Established Alumni – connect with savvy veterans for practical real-world perspectives, advice and mentorship
